Vaibhav Sooryavanshi To Miss Out Again! Probable XIs For India vs ...
India suffered a major setback in the opening T20I against Ireland, going down by 34 runs in Belfast. Chasing 183, the visitors were bowled out for 148 in 18.5 overs as Ireland registered their first-ever victory over India in international cricket. With the two-match T20I series on the line, Team India could consider a few changes for the second and final T20I.
Ireland Unlikely to Tinker With Winning Combination
Despite missing several first-choice players, Ireland produced a commanding all-round performance in the series opener. The young squad impressed with both bat and ball, giving the hosts little reason to alter their winning XI.

One of the standout performers was fast bowler Jay Moondra, who finished with figures of 2/25 from his four overs. Following such a convincing display, Ireland are expected to stick with the same lineup for the second T20I.

Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again failed to convert a promising start into a substantial score for India A.

DAMBULLA – The ball from Sahan Arachchige drifted just enough. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi tried to muscle it through the leg side, as he has done a thousand times in the IPL, and sent a simple catch spooning to point instead. Twenty-one runs off 14 balls. Another start, another miss, another long walk back to the pavilion at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.
That moment, in the fourth over of India A’s innings on Monday, crystallised something that the scoreboard alone cannot fully explain. Sooryavanshi had already smashed Chamika Gunasekara for a six and two boundaries in his brief tenure at the crease. His wrists were quick, his feet moving, his intent unmistakable. But when Arachchige — a right-arm o…

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Fails Again In Tri-Series As India A Star ...
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s remarkable rise in Indian cricket has been one of the biggest talking points of 2026. The teenage batting sensation earned widespread recognition after his explosive performances in the Indian Premier League, where he showcased fearless strokeplay and maturity beyond his years. However, the young opener is currently facing a different challenge during India A’s ongoing one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka.
In the latest match against Sri Lanka A, Sooryavanshi once again got off to a promising start but failed to convert it into a substantial score. Opening the innings alongside Prabhsimran Singh, the left-hander looked in excellent touch early on. He attacked the new-ball bowlers, Mohamed Shiraz and Chamika Gunasekara, striking three boundaries and a six to put pressure on the hosts.
Recognising the danger, Sri Lanka A introduced spinner Sahan Arachchige into the attack, and the move paid immediate dividends. Attempting an aggressive shot against a flighted delivery, Sooryavanshi mistimed the ball and was caught at point. His innings ended at 21 off just 14 deliveries, leaving India A frustrated…

Dambulla, June 15:
Young India batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had another short stay at the crease as he was dismissed for 21 off 14 balls against Sri Lanka A in the ongoing Tri-Nation A series in Dambulla on Monday. The youngster showed glimpses of his attacking ability but failed to convert his start into a big score. Vaibhav is struggling to find his form in the longer format of the game. The fans fear that if the same form continues ahead, Vaibhav might loose his spot in the ODIs.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Fails To Fire, Falls Early On India A Debut
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi India A vs Sri Lanka A: Teenage batting star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's much-awaited India A debut got underway earlier today as he stepped out to bat against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla. Captained by Tilak Varma, the Men in Blue's development squad elected to bat first, and while fireworks were expected, given the star-studded lineup, and especially Sooryavanshi at the top, coming in with red-hot form from the IPL, things didn't exactly go according to plan.
While his innings did feature a couple of boundaries, the prodigy couldn't convert the solid start into a big score.
Facing his very first delivery of the match, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, in typical fashion, struck a boundary. He was often seen going for big hits even early on in his innings in the IPL, and successfully replicated a solid start on debut.
He went on to hit two more fours, but was caught out on 14 off 12 deliveries, marking a disappointing end to his first outing in the India A outfit.
Prabhsimran Singh, who plays for Punjab Kings in the IPL, opened the innings with him, but also got out cheaply on just 2 runs.

Another disappointing outing for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the teenage batting sensation once again failed to convert a promising start into a big result in the ongoing Tri-Nation series.
Representing India A against Sri Lanka A in the fourth match of the tournament, the 15-year-old looked in good form early on after Sri Lanka A won the toss and elected to bowl first. Sooryavanshi raced to 21 off just 14 balls, hitting three fours and a six, before throwing the wicket away while attempting another attacking shot.
The expulsion came thanks to Sahan Arashchiji, who lured the young man into a car outside the trunk.
The ball moved slightly away, past the outside edge and headed towards the point, where Wanoja Sahan completed a neat shot.
In Match 1 against Sri Lanka A on 9 June 2026, he made his debut for India A and with a strong start, smashed three boundaries against Mohammad Shiraz and Shamika Karunaratne. However, his stay lasted only 12 births. While trying to lift the ball up the pitch, he failed to reach the required height, allowing Sri Lankan captain Sahan Arashchi…
