IPL 2026 star Vaibhav Suryavanshi awaits chance in upcoming T20 series

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made an extraordinary impact in IPL 2026, scoring 776 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 237, finishing as the tournament’s leading run‑scorer and setting a new record for most sixes in a single season. After his IPL heroics, he shone for India A in the tri‑series against Sri Lanka, whipping a rapid half‑century in just 11 balls during the final. Though speculation suggested he could be tried in the two‑match T20 series against Ireland, he was not picked. The next international T20 between India and England is slated for Manchester on Saturday, leaving his inclusion uncertain.
