Harbhajan Singh Demands Fast-Track for RR Prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi to Senior India Squad
Rajasthan Royals' young batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi is receiving high praise following his record-breaking performance in the U19 World Cup final. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has now made a strong public demand for the 14-year-old to be fast-tracked into the senior national team immediately after the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Harbhajan highlighted Suryavanshi's explosive batting, noting that the youngster has already proven his mettle against senior players in the IPL, referencing his century against Gujarat Titans in the 2025 season. The India legend believes that talent of this magnitude should not be held back and should be given opportunities in ODIs and T20Is, potentially even eyeing the 2027 ODI World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.
Suryavanshi, who turns 15 in March, scored a blistering 175 off 80 balls in the U19 final, cementing his status as one of the most exciting prospects in Indian cricket. Harbhajan's endorsement adds significant weight to the growing calls for the RR prodigy's rapid ascent.

“We saw him in the IPL as well, explosive batting, there he wasn’t playing against Under-19 teams there. He is an incredible player. I think for the next India tour, be it ODIs or T20s, he should definitely be included.”
