Vaibhav has been kept in the waiting despite Samson’s continuous struggles with the bat, and this left many frustrated as the 15-year-old wonderkid has been in exceptional form with the bat since the IPL 2026. Now, the calls for the left-hander’s India debut keep getting stronger.
Sooryavanshi forced his way into the national squad after a dream IPL 2026 campaign. The young left-hander dominated bowlers throughout the tournament and finished as the player of the tournament. In just 16 matches, he smashed 776 runs at an outstanding average of 48.50 and a remarkable strike rate of over 237.
He hasn't done anything great since the World Cup: S Badrinath slams Sanju Samson's poor form
Badrinath believes the Indian team should make the most of Vaibhav’s current confidence and red-hot form instead of making him wait because Sanju Samson has also been struggling badly in T20Is after contributing big in India’s T20 World Cup 2026 triumph.
S Badrinath said in a video on his YouTube channel: “Timing is very important for a player in form. He should be given a chance when he is in the form of his life. There is no use playing him when he's not in form. Confidence is everything in sports, and he is high on confidence right now. So, he must play. Also, let's not forget, Sanju Samson has been continuously failing since the T20 World Cup. He hasn't done anything great since the World Cup.”
India's batting failures in Ireland strengthen Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's case!
The cricket pundit said, “Though I don't advocate dropping Samson, it's something to think about when an in-form Sooryavanshi is sitting out.”
The former CSK batter added, “There was a lack of intent with the bat in the two losses against Ireland. That makes it all the more a reason for Team India to play Vaibhav Suryavanshi.”
Now, all eyes are on the second T20I in Manchester on July 4. It will be interesting to see whether the team management finally hands the teenage sensation his much-awaited India debut or continues to back the struggling Samson.
