Sangakkara confident Vaibhav Sooryavanshi can handle cricket's spotlight

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not the one to get affected by "fame and flash" as the 15-year-old will be able to handle the attention of playing top flight cricket with aplomb, says Rajasthan Royals' head coach Kumar Sangakkara. The explosive teenager is currently with the Indian team on away tours of Ireland and England and speculations continue to persist on his possible international debut in these T20I assignments. Sangakkara, who has seen Sooryavanshi from close quarters in the IPL, says the young batter will be a force not just for India but also for world cricket. "He will have many opportunities ahead, in cricket and commercially. How he balances that, and the support he gets from his family and the team, will be crucial," Sangakkara told Sky Sports. "But one thing I can say for sure is that Vaibhav loves batting. He loves the game. The fame and flash don't really affect him. He is very grounded and curious about many things." Sangakkara revealed the young batting sensation is n

ICC Women's T20 WC 2026: All-round show kapp helps SA end IND's winning run

Marizanne Kapp struck a scintillating 45-ball 81 as South Africa overwhelmed India by six wickets in their ICC Women's T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. Batting first, India posted 158 for seven and South Africa rode on Kapp's brilliant unbeaten knock and Tazmin Brits' 36-ball 40 to complete the chase of 159 in 19.1 overs. Shree Charani (3/24) picked up three wickets for India. Earlier, India were off to a flying start and scored 59 runs in the powerplay due to Shafali Verma (3 off 15 balls) and Smriti Mandhana's (17 off 12 balls) aggressive approach. However, South Africa's bowlers fought back well by applying the brakes on India's scoring in the middle overs while picking up important wickets, including that of India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who made her 200th T20I appearance, a feat no other cricketer -- male and female -- has achieved in the history of the game. Harmanpreet made 24 in her landmark game while Deepti Sharma chipped in with an useful 29 in 21 balls. Shabnim I

Teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi saved his best for the final, smashing a breathtaking 29-ball 94 as India A thrashed Sri Lanka A by 66 runs to clinch the Team Tri-Series title, here on Sunday. The 15-year-old blazed 10 fours and eight sixes in a record 11-ball List A fifty, powering India A to a daunting 377/9 after Sri Lanka A opted to bowl. With a mountain of runs to chase, Sri Lanka A never really got going and were bowled out for 311 in 47.1 overs, losing wickets at regular intervals. There was little resistance in the chase apart from Sadeera Samarawickrama (52; 44 balls) and Wanuja Sahhan who top-scored with a 69-ball 62. For India A, new-ball bowler Yash Thakur led the attack with 3/45 in 7 overs, while Vipraj Nigam wrapped the tail with 3/60 in 9.1 overs. Skipper Tilak Varma capped a fine all-round outing with a tidy 1/11 from two overs. Sooryavanshi's breathtaking assault had put India A firmly in command early in the innings, while Varma later anchored the effort wit

Kohli's participation in question as BCCI announces squad for England ODIs

Premier batter Virat Kohli was on Sunday named in India's squad for the three-match ODI series against England next month, subject to fitness clearance, as the BCCI announced team for the upcoming white-ball assignment. The selection committee picked a 15-member squad for the ODI series, to be led by Shubman Gill, with Rohit Sharma also included. Kohli's inclusion remains dependent on a fitness clearance, according to a note issued by the BCCI along with the squad announcement. The in-form Kohli is set to appear in a fitness test on Monday in Bengaluru. Shreyas Iyer remains the vice-captain, while KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were selected as wicketkeepers. India will play the three ODIs against England at Edgbaston (July 14), Sophia Gardens (July 16) and Lord's (July 19).

Saikia explains BCCI's plan to take Sooryavanshi's parents on UK tour

A 15-year-old schoolboy needs to be eased into a senior team set-up, said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia as he explained the Board's decision to allow Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's parents to accompany him on the white-ball tour of Ireland and England later this month. The big-hitting Sooryavanshi, who has earned his maiden call-up in the Indian T20 set-up, has been selected for seven games (two vs Ireland and five vs England) on the tour which begins on June 26 in Belfast. "You see, not all national teams at the senior level have a 14 or 15-year-old in their squad. After many decades, we have someone like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi," Saikia told PTI in an exclusive interview. "At one point in time, it was Sachin Tendulkar (16 and half at time of Test debut)who made it to the national team at such a young age. When such a young kid is part of the senior team, there are obviously a lot of issues that can crop up," he added without elaborating. "Therefore, to make him comfortable and help him get

Gill, Kishan star as team India outclass Afghanistan to seal ODI series

Captain Shubman Gill battled intense heat and cramps to produce a masterful 154, while the increasingly confident Ishan Kishan scored a statement century as India recorded a dominant 170-run win over Afghanistan in the second ODI here on Wednesday to seal the series. India have taken a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-match series. Afghanistan's decision to bowl first under the scorching afternoon sun backfired as Gill and Kishan, who scored his second ODI hundred in his comeback series, helped India put up a formidable 402. The conditions were very demanding through out the game with several players struggling with cramps while Gill also batted with an ice collar. In fact, the Indian skipper didn't return to the field once he got out. Gill and Kishan put the visiting bowlers to the sword with a blistering 224-run stand for the third wicket off just 141 deliveries, completely taking the game away from the opposition. Chasing more than 400 was always going to be a daunting task f
