The 15-year-old batter is now officially eligible for international cricket under ICC minimum age regulations, and even several former cricketers demanded his immediate fast-tracking into the India National Cricket Team for the upcoming white-ball assignments.
But Aakash Chopra has urged the Indian selectors to stay patient with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi despite his unbelievable IPL 2026 season. The Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation has become one of the biggest stars of the tournament with his explosive batting, but the former Indian opener feels the youngster should not be rushed into the Indian national cricket team.
He believes that India already has a settled batting lineup with players like Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson performing brilliantly as well in IPL 2026, so Vaibhav must get time to grow to develop his team, keeping in mind the longer picture.

The commentator continued, “But then you just don’t make changes for the sake of making changes because somebody else has done well. It’s very simple for somebody to go out; you need to fail that exam. If somebody’s a topper already, how can you just replace the topper because you think somebody else will actually get more grades? I mean, he is a topper.”

Chopra signed off by saying, “Ajit Agarkar, RP Singh, Pragyan Ojha will face a lot of scrutiny and pressure, but they need to do what is right for Indian cricket, and he represents Indian cricket. He’s not Indian cricket. I mean, he is a part of Indian cricket, and I think that fact is not lost on any of the selectors, and they’ll do the right thing, but it doesn’t have to happen tomorrow. It can take time. He’s 20 years ahead of him, so there’s no rush.”
