Sooryavanshi surpassed the previous record held by Shafali Verma, who made her international debut in 2019 at the age of 15 years and 239 days. In men's cricket, he also eclipsed the long-standing benchmark set by Sachin Tendulkar, who debuted for India at the age of 16 in 1989. Tendulkar's record as India's youngest male international had stood for more than three decades before Sooryavanshi's landmark appearance.
A historic day for Indian cricket 💙

India vs England 2nd T20I Preview
India will be hoping for a win in the second T20I against England to start off their tour on a winning note. The Shreyas Iyer-led side suffered a shocking whitewash against Ireland, while rain washed off the first of their five T20Is against England. The Men in Blue will be keen to finally gain some momentum with a win in the next fixture.
As for England, Harry Brook would be keen to avenge the team's loss to India in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup earlier this year.
India and England will face off at Old Trafford on July 4 for the second T20I. Both sides will hope to start their campaign with a win.
India scored 189 in the first game before it was washed out due to rain. The visitors once again lost early wickets, repeating their woes from their two-match series against Ireland.
Abhishek Sharma and skipper Shreyas Iyer managed to stay at the crease. Their half-centuries helped India put up a fighting total.
England proved that even with Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue being absent from the first game, their bowlers can trouble the visitors. Saqib Mahmood picked up three wickets in his comeback game, dismissing Samson, Tilak Varma and Iyer.
Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Play?
One of the biggest questions before the game will be if Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be given a spot in the playing XI. The teenage prodigy has had a stellar run in recent games, coming close to a century in the India A Tri Series final against Sri Lanka.
The batter was kept out of the Ireland series as well as the first T20I against England.With batting still an issue for the Men in Blue, Sooryavanshi may step onto the field soon.
India's Top Order Woes
Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan departed early once again. Samson was dismissed for a single run by Mahmood. Kishan failed to reach the crease on time soon after and was run out. Abhishek Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and Shivam Dube helped put India in a dominant position again, but their departure also led to another batch of wickets falling quickly
Axar Patel, Harshit Rana and Tilak Varma also went back to the dugout for low scores. India will want to work out the chinks in their armour before the next game.
Will Saqib Mahmood Throw A Spammer In India's Plans?
Mahmood came back to the England side after over a year. The 28-year-old has recovered from his knee surgery last year and proved to be a thorn in India's side. He picked up important wickets and managed to control the run rate at the end of his four-over spell. The bowler can prove to be lethal in the next game as well.
