In a fervent appeal, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has called on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to strongly consider 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the Indian national cricket squad. Tharoor praised Suryavanshi’s remarkable performances in domestic cricket, highlighting that the his extraordinary skills warrant immediate recognition at the top level.

His incredible knock of 190 runs came off a mere 84 balls, featuring 15 massive sixes and a variety of boundaries, displaying an impressive maturity that is rare for someone his age.
In a public address, Tharoor equated Suryavanshi to one of cricket’s legends, Sachin Tendulkar, who made his international debut at just 16. Tharoor urged India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar to acknowledge Suryavanshi’s tremendous potential, stating, “The last time a fourteen-year-old exhibited such extraordinary cricket talent, it was Sachin Tendulkar – and we all know how that story unfolded.”
Suryavanshi’s incredible performances contributed to a historic achievement for Bihar’s cricket team in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. The team set a new world standard for the highest List A team total, racking up a remarkable 574 runs for just six wickets lost. This record-setting innings was spearheaded by Suryavanshi, along with captain Sakibul Gani and wicketkeeper Ayush Loharuka.
Captain Sakibul Gani made a breathtaking contribution of 128 runs off 40 balls, marking the fastest century by an Indian in List A cricket. Ayush Loharuka also made a swift 116 runs off just 56 balls, amplifying Bihar’s record total. Together, these young stars showcased a captivating exhibition of aggressive, modern batting that captivated fans and overpowered their rivals.
The outstanding performances of this talented cohort have brought crucial attention to emerging cricket talents from Bihar, leading to strong calls for their recognition and opportunities at the national level. Analysts and cricket enthusiasts continue to urge BCCI to honor Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s exceptional achievements by integrating him into India’s cricketing framework without hesitation.
As Indian cricket evolves to foster a new generation of talent, Suryavanshi’s rapid ascent underscores the game’s promising future and the potential of its youngest stars.
