3 min readUpdated: Jun 24, 2026 05:34 PM IST The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently earned a maiden call-up to the Indian national team, will reportedly be required to use his own changing room during India’s tour of England. A report by The Guardian states that Sooryavanshi will be mandated to have separate facilities for safeguarding reasons, as the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) procedures will be in force throughout the series. The hype surrounding the prodigy from Bihar is real, as he could make history by becoming India’s youngest international cricketer on Friday, should he earn his debut cap in the T20I against Ireland in Belfast. India will play two T20Is against Ireland before a five-match T20 series against England, which begins in Durham next Wednesday. The record for India’s youngest international cricketer is held by the great Sachin Tendulkar, who made his Test debut at the age of 16 years and 205 days in 1989. According to The Guardian, both the ICC and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) prohibit under-16s from using …

New-look Chennai Super Kings’ attacking approach falls flat as seamers set up big win for Rajasthan Royals. Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals. Sanju Samson in yellow and Ravindra Jadeja in pink. All the talk in the lead-up to the fixture was on the two players who had exchanged their home bases. And Round 1 went Jadeja’s way, as the left-arm spinner played a supporting role to the pacers to give Royals a winning start to the season. From the moment the coin fell their way, they hardly put a foot wrong. Their pace pack, led by Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, set up the win in the Powerplay itself. Chasing 128 on a tacky pitch, Rajasthan didn’t blink. And leading their charge was 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who hit a 15-ball half-century. His 52 off 17 deliveries, comprising four boundaries and five sixes, made Chennai freeze. The two sixes off Noor Ahmad showed his continuing evolution. After the multiple blows that they faced in the first half of the match, it was Sooryavanshi’s whirlwind knock …

Creating history as a 14-year-old debutant, Vaibhav Suryavanshi impresses but RR snatch another defeat from the jaws of victory. Nine runs needed from six balls. That was the equation for the Rajasthan Royals in their last two matches. At Kotla, a few days ago, they came undone by Mitch Starc’s fine last over, albeit still managing to force a Super Over and losing in the tiebreaker. In Jaipur on Saturday, they come undone even worse. Chasing 181, RR fell short by 2 runs against Lucknow Super Giants to suffer their sixth defeat of the season and remain rooted to the bottom half of the table. Avesh shines, RR collapse When 25 runs were needed off 18 balls, and Yashasvi Jaiswal was still batting at 74, RR were in cruise control. Avesh Khan’s night till then had not gone well; he had conceded 26 runs off his first two overs, but with the first ball of the 18th over, he fired in a full delivery, zoning in on the middle stump. Jaiswal, who had batted like …
