From Manchester Debut to Waiting Game: Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Road to New Zealand Tour

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his senior debut for India on 4 July in Manchester against England, followed by a modest showing in three matches. He later shone in the Zimbabwe T20 series, scoring two half‑centuries and amassing 151 runs, which earned him Player of the Series. However, he was again left out of the Afghanistan series and the Asian Games fixtures. With the New Zealand tour set to begin on 22 October, the young batsman now waits for the next opportunity to prove his mettle at the international level.
