The management explained that while they value the kid’s talent, it's also important to respect the seniors who have been in good form. Hence, Sanju Samson played ahead of him as an opener.However, India didn’t yield any positive result by snubbing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Samson scored 5 and 0 in the two games, and India lost their first-ever bilateral series against Ireland.The defeat also broke India’s long series-winning streak in the T20I format as the captaincy era of Shreyas Iyer began on a horrific note. Will Sooryavanshi get a chance in England?Having said that, the next assignment for India is to tour England for a 5-game T20I series beginning on July 1st. After a whitewash against Ireland, fans are speculating about some changes in the playing XI.And naturally, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the first in line for a potential debut. However, the management appears keen on backing Sanju Samson since he performed exceptionally well in the T20 World Cup 2026 knockouts.Also, the veteran wicketkeeper had a successful IPL 2026 campaign with CSK. Hence, for now, Vaibhav’s India debut appears unlikely. Still, the kid has a long way to go. The series is long, and his fate can change any day.
