ENG vs IND, 2nd T20I: India hand international debut to teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
India won the toss and chose to bat in the second T20I against England at Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday. Apart from the toss, the massive development has been the inclusion of teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has created history by becoming the youngest player ever to make international debut.
At 15 years and 99 days, Sooryavanshi surpassed legendary Sachin Tendulkar to become India's youngest debutant. Sachin Tendulkar made his India debut at 16 years 205 days old in a Test match against Pakistan in Karachi back in November 1989. Meanwhile, the teen prodigy was handed his maiden cap by Tilak Varma. India, on the other hand, dropped Sanju Samson following a series of disappointing outings.
India Playing XI: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy.
England Playing XI: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue.
