Ajit Agarkar on teen sensation’s selection

Ajit Agarkar on teen sensation’s selection

4 min readJun 6, 2026 02:55 PM IST As the sun set on one ‘Surya’, another ‘Soorya’ rose on Saturday. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was indisputably the most talked-about player in IPL 2026. His stellar performances have now earned him a spot in the senior Indian squads for the tours to Ireland and England later this month and the Asian Games in September. It has been a sensational rise for the 15-year-old, who made his first-class debut in January 2024 and, in just over two-and-a-half years, reached the highest level in the game. Sooryavanshi’s selection was one of the headline decisions announced by chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar on Saturday, with the teenager rewarded for a breakthrough IPL campaign that saw him emerge as the leading run-getter with 776 runs in 16 matches. Agarkar made it clear that age was not a consideration once the youngster’s performances were weighed up. “His performances, like I said before, he’s almost forced us to pick him with how well he’s played. I know his age, and how young he is, …

Ajit Agarkar slammed for disrespecting Mohammed Shami: ‘Would you treat Bumrah the same way?’

Ajit Agarkar slammed for disrespecting Mohammed Shami: ‘Would you treat Bumrah the same way?’

Mohammed Shami’s omission from India’s squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan feels like a strong indication that the selectors have moved on from the veteran pacer. The experienced fast bowler last represented India during the Champions Trophy last year and has since been working hard to regain full match fitness. Shami even returned to domestic cricket, featuring in the Ranji Trophy in an attempt to push his case for a comeback in the red-ball setup, but the call-up never arrived. Ajit Agarkar faces backlash for fitness explanation behind Mohammed Shami snub. (PTI Images) With India now focusing heavily on building a younger core across formats, opportunities for senior players appear to be shrinking rapidly. The team management’s current approach clearly points to long-term planning, especially in white-ball cricket, where several young names are consistently backed. Given the direction Indian cricket is heading in, it now seems increasingly difficult for Shami to find a place in the national side again, regardless of the format. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar made it clear that fitness concerns played …

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar gives big update on Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya’s fitness

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar gives big update on Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya’s fitness

4 min readMay 20, 2026 01:04 PM IST Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have two weeks time to prove their fitness or risk losing their spots in India’s ODI team for the upcoming series against Afghanistan. While both the players were named in the squad by the selection committee, chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar has reinstated that both Rohit and Hardik have to clear the test before joining the team. Rohit, who picked up a hamstring injury during the course of the IPL, spent a considerable time on the sidelines before making his comeback. Having featured mostly as a player whom the franchise substituted with an Impact Player, concerns still remain over whether he has retained 100 per cent fitness. Similarly, Pandya hasn’t taken the field since their defeat to Chennai Super Kings on May 2, with Suryakumar Yadav and then Jasprit Bumrah stepping in as captains.

NCP confident Sunetra Pawar will Baramati bypoll by over 2 lakh votes, surpassing Ajit Pawar’s record | Pune News

As the counting of votes for the Baramati Assembly bypoll is scheduled for May 4, the Nationalist Congress Party is confident that its candidate, Sunetra Pawar, will win by over 2 lakh votes—a victory margin the state has not seen yet. The NCP is also confident that Sunetra Pawar will break her husband’s record margin of victory of 1.65 lakh votes, which he achieved in the 2019 Assembly polls. ”We are fully confident that Sunetra Pawar will win by a margin of over 2 lakh votes.
