Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had a hard time in the nets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi ahead of the India vs Afghanistan series. According to media reports, the Indian team's pacers, especially Jasprit Bumrah, tested the teenage sensation hard. The other pace bowlers of the team also put Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in challenging situations several times during the net session today, September 11.
The India National Cricket Team has started their preparations for the upcoming three-match T20I series against the Afghanistan cricket team, starting on September 13 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The series is going to be vital for the Men in Green, as multiple cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah, Washington Sundar, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, are returning after their injury layoffs.
Cricketers like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma join the national camp late as they were engaged in the final of the 2026 Duleep Trophy. The Duleep Trophy was a red-ball tournament, and the series against Afghanistan will be a white-ball series, a T20 International contest. So the batters who have freshly come out of the red-ball format will have to shift their mindset to the shortest format of the game.
Since he arrived in the Indian Premier League in 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become one of the most lethal hitters of the ball. In the IPL 2026 season, the southpaw won the Orange Cap as the highest run-scorer of the season, smashing world-class bowlers.
Jasprit Bumrah outplayed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
According to a PTI report, the 15-year-old was spotted struggling against the ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. In an over in the nets, Vaibhav Suryavanshi missed two consecutive deliveries despite swinging the bat.
He was reportedly completely beaten by the pace of Jasprit Bumrah. For the third ball, it was a yorker, which Suryavanshi somehow managed to dig out from the ground. The third delivery was a clean hit as it was pitched in the arc of the batter. The young cricketer also had a tough time during the fielding practice as well.
The T20I squad is compelling with the openers like Suryavanshi, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. If the team management selects the playing eleven based on the practice sessions, then it will be no surprise if the Gautam Gambhir-led management decides to drop Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the opening spot to name Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma as their opening pair.
Ajinkya Rahane backs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
Ahead of the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I, former India batter Ajinkya Rahane says that Sooryavanshi needs to continue his natural batting, which took him into the national team in England.
"The game that got him into the England team — he should back that same game. It’s very early for him to make changes in his early career in international cricket. So for now, he doesn’t need to think too much. You should leave him open. As you play for a year or two, your game will slowly change," Rahane opined in his YouTube video.
