'He's Broken Down The Door And Deserves His Place': AB De Villiers Backs Vaibhav's India Selection
Representing Rajasthan Royals: South African great AB de Villiers has thrown his weight behind teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's selection in India's T20I squad, saying the youngster has done enough to earn his opportunity at the highest level despite his tender age. Speaking at a private event, de Villiers said it would have been easy for selectors to overlook the 15-year-old and opt for a more experienced player, but felt Vaibhav's performances had made the decision impossible to ignore. It would have been easy to say that he's still too young and he's not ready and go for more experience. He's broken down the door, and he deserves his place in the India T20 team, so I'm happy for him, de Villiers said. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson also showered praise on the teenager during the same event, highlighting both his extraordinary power-hitting ability and fearless approach to batting. Asked which qualities he would borrow from current Indian cricketers, Watson immediately picked Vaibhav and pointed to the youngster's ability to clear boundaries in all directions. Number one, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, for the power that he's got all around the ground, not just straight or to the leg side. Not just straight or to the leg side, it's also over the offside, Watson said. The former Australian star was even more impressed by Vaibhav's mindset, describing fearlessness as one of the defining traits behind his rapid rise. And also to go with that, Vaibhav's fearless mindset as well. He's got no fear of getting out, which is something that I struggled with for a decent part of my career, he added. The former Australian star was even more impressed by Vaibhav's mindset, describing fearlessness as one of the defining traits behind his rapid rise.

Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza: Even as the Indian yoga athletes and many of their Indian-origin counterparts take centrestage at the inaugural World Yogasana Championships here, a lithe South American is a cynosure of the spectators and fellow competitors as she performed the asanas with precision and elegance. After all, Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza has been one of the most successful overseas athletes in the championships, winning a total of five including two gold and two silver medals, and insists that yoga has transformed her life in more ways than she could ever imagine. Born about 40 kilometres from Rosario the Argentine city that gave the global football icon Lionel Messi Nabilas first brush with Yogasana happened through a college friend back home. What began as curiosity gradually transformed into a passion, eventually bringing her to Mumbai, a city she would call home for nearly five years During that period, she learnt Hindi phrases, discovered Indian traditions, appeared as a background dancer in Bollywood productions, worked alongside actor Tiger Shroff, and even developed an unexpected appreciation for cricket. I knew how passionate people in Argentina are about football, so I could understand the emotions Indians have for cricket, said Nabila as she speaks about how she is a great fan of former India skipper Virat Kohli. While cricket introduced her to one side of India, yoga revealed something deeper. Drawn by its philosophy and transformative potential, Nabila travelled to Rishikesh, widely regarded as the yoga capital of the world, before furthering her studies in Nashik. The enriching experience has since shaped the journey of the 30-year-old trainer of contemporary dance, who was raised by a single mother alongside her two siblings. It has been an amazing journey in India. I loved everything about the country the culture, the people and the diversity. I travelled to Rajasthan, Agra, Goa, Chennai and Kolkata. What amazed me most was how different the languages, cuisines and customs can be within one country, said Nabila. The lessons she learnt on those journeys would eventually travel with her across continents. Earlier this year, Nabila moved to Colombia, where she now conducts both online and offline yoga classes. Yoga heals the body, mind and soul, she said. For me, it is still a learning experience. What makes it special is that it is not restricted by age. Anyone can practice it. Nabilas commitment was evident long before she stepped onto the championship stage in Ahmedabad. To compete at the World Yogasana Championships, Nabila endured a gruelling 48-hour journey that took her from Bogota to Toronto, then London, Mumbai and finally Ahmedabad. The effort paid off.

My Sister Told Me, 'It's Official': Manav Suthar Reveals How He Learned About His Test Selection
Indian Premier League: Promising left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder Manav Suthar recalled the emotional moment of his India call-up, revealing that his sister told him that his name had come up for the Indian team for the one-off Test against Afghanistan. India added Suthar to the XI for the one-off Test against Afghanistan in Mullanpur. Before the game began on Saturday, Suthar, who played for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 under Indias red-ball skipper Shubman Gills leadership, earned his first cap from senior spinner Kuldeep, becoming India's first specialist spin-bowling Test debutant since Axar Patel made his debut in 2021. I was in my room when my sister called me. Maybe she was watching the squad announcement event. She told me that my name had come up in the Indian team. I asked her if it was official. She said yes, it's official. She was the first one to call me. Everyone was emotional when I got the call. Dad, mom, everyone called me. They couldn't believe it. I can't describe it in words. It's the biggest feeling. You work hard for years, and then you finally get selected for India. It's the best feeling. The best feeling of my life, Suthar told JioStar. The 23-year-old allrounder opened about how his love for cricket first developed as a child. Cricket has always been a big part of my family. My father loves the game, and everyone at home watches matches regularly. As a young boy, I used to sit with them and watch. That is where my love for cricket first started. I began playing in the streets with my friends. Those street games taught me the basics, how to hold the bat and how to bowl. When I was 10 or 11, I joined a proper cricket academy. I started training under coach Dheeraj sir and Vinod sir. They taught me the right techniques and helped me improve my game. My first big breakthrough came when I played for Rajasthan in the Under-14 category. That experience gave me a lot of motivation. I realized that I could make a career out of this sport. From there, my journey as a cricketer truly began. On the obstacles he overcame to make it to the top level, Suthar said, In a country like India, with such a huge population, succeeding in cricket is never easy. You never know what the future holds. There are so many talented players competing for the same few spots. I faced a lot of challenges along the way. Many people told me to focus on my studies. They said cricket had no scope and that I was wasting my time. But I didn't listen. I didn't give up. I kept working hard, session after session, season after season, he said. Hailing from Rajasthan and having sharpened his skills through the state's domestic circuit, Suthar has built an impressive first-class record. In 29 first-class matches, he has claimed 129 wickets, establishing himself as one of the country's most promising young spinners. He has also featured in 25 List-A matches and 29 T20 games. I had a great domestic season. I performed well for India A too. My name was being discussed, and I knew the call could come anytime. It was a waiting game, but I stayed patient. I made my IPL debut in 2024 with Gujarat Titans. I played only one game that season. I didn't get a chance to play in 2025, but I played four games in 2026, and it felt good to be back on the field. Now, all the hard work in domestic cricket and for India A has paid off. I am in the playing XI for the Afghanistan Test, making my international debut. It is a dream come true. All the sacrifices have finally paid off. I feel proud, grateful, and ready to give my best for the country, he added. I had a great domestic season. I performed well for India A too. My name was being discussed, and I knew the call could come anytime. It was a waiting game, but I stayed patient. I made my IPL debut in 2024 with Gujarat Titans. I played only one game that season.

Sooryavanshis Father To Arrive In Sri Lanka, Parents Can Travel With Him To UK And Ireland: Saikia
Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has arranged for Sanjeev, the father of teenaged left-handed batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, to join him in Sri Lanka ahead of the 50-over tri-series, and has extended the option for his parents to accompany him on the upcoming tours of the UK and Ireland, said Secretary Devajit Saikia on Sunday. On Saturday, Sooryavanshi earned a maiden call-up to India's T20I squad for the tours to Ireland and England, and the Asian Games in Japan, after having extraordinary performances in U19 World Cup triumph and IPL 2026. Sooryavanshi is in Sri Lanka with the India A team for the 50-over tri-series, starting in Dambulla on June 9. Vaibhav Sooryavanshis father is arriving today in Sri Lanka and we'll offer him that if he wants to go to the UK and Ireland also, we'll do that. Vaibhav was selected for India A team a few days ago and soon he will be a part of the India senior mens team. So to make him comfortable with the new environment, especially with him being a child, we have made arrangements for his father to go to Sri Lanka and be with his son so that he gets used to being in the new situation, Saikia told IANS. Sooryavanshis rapid elevation to the India squad comes on the back of a recordbreaking IPL 2026 season for Rajasthan Royals, where he amassed 776 runs to finish as the tournaments leading scorer. He also struck one century and five halfcenturies in the campaign, where RR finished third after losing in Qualifier 2. He also claimed five awards - Emerging Player of the Season, Most Valuable Player, Orange Cap (for being leading run-getter in the competition), best season strike rate and most sixes hit in an IPL season. Yesterday he was also selected for the UK and Ireland T20I tours. So we'll make the offer that if the parents or the father wants to go there, we'll make that arrangement also. This is basically for making the child comfortable in a senior men's team and that is the basic thing behind it. Its because otherwise he was always traveling with his under 19, junior boys or the sub junior boys team. It meant that he was in the comfort zone. But now he will be in the adult world and we want to make him comfortable, as he is a 15yearold kid. Definitely with his parents around, he'll be more comfortable subject to his satisfaction and convenience, we are doing it, added Saikia. Yesterday he was also selected for the UK and Ireland T20I tours. So we'll make the offer that if the parents or the father wants to go there, we'll make that arrangement also. This is basically for making the child comfortable in a senior men's team and that is the basic thing behind it. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Saikia emphasised that the boards responsibility is to ensure a player like Sooryavanshi isnt feeling alienated in a new team environment. See, we have some responsibility on us - that nobody should feel uncomfortable or alien in a new environment. That is our basic principle so that he adjusts gradually to being in the senior team.

Gen Next Academy: On a fine Saturday afternoon, Manish Ojha was doing what he has done for a long time making his students go through their paces at his Gen Next Academy in the Sampatchak area of Patna. Amidst the focus on the trainees perfecting their craft in the afternoon training session, Ojha got a call from Sanjeev Sooryavanshi. The message was short, but electric: his son Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got his India senior mens T20I call-up to tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games event in Japan. Hearing that, Ojha was left really delighted and congratulated Sanjeev. It was expected that, the way Vaibhav was performing well in the T20 format, he would get the call-up. He performed well in the U-19 World Cup win and then showed his explosive strokeplay in the IPL. So, it was quite obvious and expected for me that he would be given a chance. But when he would be given a chance, I had no idea. Now that it has come, it's a great moment. After I congratulated his father, he, in return, congratulated me, Ojha recalled in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Saturday. The mutual congratulations felt earned because what Sooryavanshi has done at 15 years of age isn't merely precocious - it is historic. In the words of chief selector Ajit Agarkar, Sooryavanshi had almost forced his way into the T20I squad. It's not hard to see why. In the 2026 IPL, Sooryavanshi made a staggering 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30, and single-handedly dragged Rajasthan Royals to Qualifier 2. He hit 72 sixes - breaking Chris Gayle's record for the most maximums in a single season. He became the first player in IPL history to be named both the Most Valuable Player and the Best Emerging Player. Before any of that, Sooryavanshi wowed the world by walking out and making a whirlwind 175 from 80 balls - 15 fours, 15 sixes, the highest ever individual score in an ICC World Cup final - as India posted 411/9. He finished the tournament with 439 runs at a competition-best strike rate of 169.49, a World Cup-record 30 sixes, and the Player of the Final as well as Player of the Tournament awards in his pocket. Before those senior assignments, he will line up for India A in the 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka from June 9-21. He is, by some distance, the youngest player selected in an Indian men's squad since a teenage Sachin Tendulkar announced himself to the world in 1989. Back in Patna, Ojha doesn't need match footage or highlight reels to remember how the Sooryavanshi journey began - the memories in his mind are sharper than anything. I often talk to Sanjeev ji about the journey from the start to the present. All of those memories are still vivid in my mind - the first time I met him, the first practice session he did under me, him coming to the academy and going back home - all these memories appear in front of my eyes now. Not just in Bihar, there are thousands of cricket coaches in India. But it was God's will that Vaibhav's father came to me with him at my academy. It was God's grace that he made me capable enough to put in a lot of hard work on Vaibhav and invest heavily in him. It is all due to God's blessings that Vaibhav has reached a very high level and made me very proud. Without God's grace, all these things don't happen in life. What strikes Ojha most isn't just the talent - it's the trajectory of Sooryavanshis improvement in 2026. The improvement has been visible, quantifiable, and almost startling in its consistency. His level of maturity is improving at every level. His execution capacity in terms of stroke play is improving. There are a lot of differences between playing at a local, state, and international level. But Vaibhav has maintained the intent of their game on all three platforms. In fact, I would say that you can clearly see the improvement in their strength. All the experts who have seen him play can easily point out the difference between how he batted in the first IPL and the second IPL. When he played the initial matches of U-19, after he reached there for the first time and from then to the difference in his game in the World Cup, there has been a lot of difference in terms of maturity, shot selection, and execution. Day by day, Vaibhav is growing as a player. He is improving his skill sets and executing them better. You can see his performance - it has improved by three times since the last IPL. Yet, for all the records and the fanfare and the historic comparisons to Tendulkar, Ojha is careful not to let the moment be mistaken for the destination. I would say that this is the first step in the ladder for Vaibhav after earning selection into the T20I team, as he has to serve Team India for a long time. When he played the initial matches of U-19, after he reached there for the first time and from then to the difference in his game in the World Cup, there has been a lot of difference in terms of maturity, shot selection, and execution. Day by day, Vaibhav is growing as a player. He is improving his skill sets and executing them better. You can see his performance - it has improved by three times since the last IPL. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Fifteen years old - barely old enough to remember Dhoni lifting the 2011 World Cup, and yet hes the most enthralling batting talent since Tendulkar captured the worlds attention.

Who Is Manav Suthar? The Story Of Rajasthan Spinner Making Test Debut For India Against Afghanistan
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Rajasthan spin-bowling all-rounder Manav Suthar's steady rise through the domestic ranks reached a defining milestone on Saturday when he made his Test debut for India in the one-off match against Afghanistan at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. The 23-year-old left-arm spinner was named in India's playing XI ahead of fellow spin-bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey, ending speculation over who would get the nod as the team management looked to assess options ahead of the upcoming two-Test tour of Sri Lanka. Suthar received Test cap No. 319 from senior spinner Kuldeep Yadav, becoming India's first specialist spin-bowling Test debutant since Axar Patel made his debut in 2021. Hailing from Rajasthan and having sharpened his skills through the state's domestic circuit, Suthar has built an impressive first-class record. In 29 first-class matches, he has claimed 129 wickets, establishing himself as one of the country's most promising young spinners. He has also featured in 25 List-A matches and 29 T20 games. Earlier this year, Suthar was part of the Gujarat Titans setup in IPL 2026 under the leadership of India's Test captain Shubman Gill, further enhancing his exposure to top-level cricket. His talent had also come into the spotlight during India's preparations for the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he reportedly impressed senior stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli while working as a net bowler. An admirer of Ravichandran Ashwin, Suthar's ability to generate a sharp turn and extract bite from the surface has earned praise from several cricketing experts. Ashwin himself had highlighted the youngster's ability to impart significant revolutions on the ball, identifying him as a spinner with immense potential. Moments after receiving his maiden Test cap, an emotional Suthar admitted that fulfilling his childhood dream was difficult to put into words. I can't even express these emotions in words. To be honest, it's the best feeling of my life so far. A Test cap is a dream for every cricketer. It gave me a lot of motivation, and receiving this cap from a legend like Kuldeep bhai, who has served Team India for so long, makes me very grateful, Suthar said in a video shared by the BCCI. Presenting the cap, Kuldeep welcomed the youngster into the Indian dressing room and urged him to trust his strengths on the biggest stage. Cap number 319, Manav Suthar. Firstly, congratulations on making your Test debut for India. It's my privilege to present you with this cap. This is a very special moment in your cricket journey, and we wish you all the very best. We hope you have a long and successful Test career. Presenting the cap, Kuldeep welcomed the youngster into the Indian dressing room and urged him to trust his strengths on the biggest stage.

Got High Hopes From Sooryavanshi, I Think He Just Has Picked Himself Really, Says Agarkar
Secretary Devajit Saikia: India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar said he had high hopes for teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after giving him a maiden T20I call-up to tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games, adding the youngster had picked himself into the squad with his explosive IPL 2026 performances. Sooryavanshi had a stellar IPL 2026 for the Rajasthan Royals and was the leading run-getter in the competition with 776 runs, including a hundred and five half-centuries. He also bagged the most valuable player and emerging player of the competition awards in the competition. What do you say, we've seen what he can do. You saw, even towards those playoffs, almost singlehandedly carried the Rajasthan Royals. For a young kid, I don't need to talk about how well he's batting or how well he's playing. It's not just this season. He's obviously made a great start last season. To back it up for a young kid in a competition that's as competitive and has a highpressure environment, and how explosive he can be, and a gamechanger that he can be. So we've, like everyone else that's watched cricket, or at least watched T20 cricket in India, we've got high hopes of him, and I think he just has picked himself really, said Agarkar in the press conference at the BCCI HQ on Saturday. Sooryavanshis selection comes after he landed in Sri Lanka as a member of the India A team for the 50-over triseries starting on June 9 in Dambulla. Secretary Devajit Saikia said the priority would be to send Sooryavanshi to Ireland and England, while adding that selectors and technical staff are monitoring his every step to ensure his future is handled with care. But we can all see what kind of talent he has, and we're hopeful that if and when he gets an opportunity to actually play for the country, he shows the same sort of ability that he's shown. Obviously, there will be tougher challenges when you play for your country, but he's shown great promise and temperament. So we're all very hopeful, like everyone is. I think he's picked himself through his performances. You always deliberate, because, like the question before, there's so much talent around, especially when it comes to T20 cricket at this point, but it tells you a lot that his performances have made us pick him, and we're very hopeful. With regards to red ball, I mean, he's a kid, and let him just be as he's just starting his journey. I'm sure when the season starts, the domestic season starts, and he plays for his team, plays a little bit of red ball cricket, we'll wait and observe at this point, why jump the gun? I think we're very excited with what he's doing in T20 cricket. Hopefully, we as selectors or the BCCI and the coaching staff can help him push in the right direction. So at this point, we're just focused on, you know, what he can bring to the T20 team, and we'll take one step at a time, elaborated Agarkar. On Rajat Patidar missing out on selection despite being in stellar form to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru defend their IPL title, Agarkar said, You discuss a host of players when you sit there. I don't think you just sit and put 15 names down. So that's always the case. We think all these 15 players are deserving. I think there are a lot of good players in India. We've seen over the last couple of months in the IPL, or if you follow domestic cricket through the season, there are plenty of guys who are you'd think they're good enough to walk into the team. But the guys who are playing are doing as well as we just won a World Cup a couple of months back. So no, I think we picked a really good one. 16 for the Ireland and England series and 15 for the Asian Games. There'll always be players missing out, but like I said, you can only pick 15, and we're very happy with this one. On Jasprit Bumrahs inclusion for the Asian Games, he said, We know how important he is. Plus the WTC cycle, we've still got a chance to enter the final. If he plays well enough over these next nine Tests, this one is not part of WTC, the Afghanistan one. But if you can have Jasprit play the majority of those games and still keep him fit and healthy, it's always the thing. I mean, there's a lot of T20 cricket. You can always bring him back. Asian Games he will be there. So, the main aim is to try and keep him fit for the Tests and the one-dayers. I don't know whether worry is the right word, but we obviously need to improve our (Test) performances. I think England was good and the South African series probably didn't go to plan, but we still have a chance if we play well enough. We know we've got the players, but we've got to play better. On Hardik Pandya not named in T20I squads, Agarkar said, With regards to Hardik, firstly, he's part of the oneday squad right now against Afghanistan. Obviously, if we can get him playing well and keep him fit for oneday cricket, I don't think he's played oneday cricket for a while. That is, at this point, the main objective. We can always bring him back. It also gives us an opportunity to give someone like Nitish Reddy a few opportunities with T20 cricket. So there will be a little bit of rest and rotation with regard to T20. But the main objective is to see if he can start playing well and stay healthy with 50over cricket with the World Cup in, what, a year and a half. He gives us a lot of balance. The World Cup is in South Africa. If he's bowling well enough, I mean, we'll assess how we go in the next few months. That's primarily the reason at this point. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Then to back it up in the IPL against really good quality batters - when you play a lot of games in the IPL, it's always going to be up and down, particularly when most teams get 200 for fun these days. So, he can bowl under pressure, which is the first thing that you try and see if a guy can do that day in, day out, and has the skill set, obviously can move the ball, bowls towards the end of the innings. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Not first time, we've seen him before, but he bowled well this season, and that caught our eye, and so he was always there in our planning. This Afghanistan series coming up gives us an opportunity to see what he can do in 50over cricket, but in T20, we've all seen that. He's got the skill set. So, again, like the guys that we picked, they're always hopeful. Article Source: IANS

Sooryavanshi Earns Maiden Callup For T20I Tours Of Ireland, England And Asian Games
Indian T20I: Teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has earned a maiden call-up to the Indian T20I team for the tours of Ireland, England and the Asian Games. With Shreyas Iyer appointed as Indias new T20I captain, he replaces Suryakumar Yadav, who has been left out of all three squads. Shreyas was quite close to getting into that T20 World Cup squad. It was a tough call on Suryakumar Yadav, but you need to reassess your plan moving forward. Shreyas is a well-deserving captain. He is a standout candidate with enough experience. I talked to most people, particularly when it comes to a captain who has won the World Cup. We had that chat. We debated it a lot, not the easiest discussion especially if you've won the WC. At some stage, we would've discussed. Shreyas playing as well as he has made the decision easier, said chief selector Ajit Agarkar in the press conference. India will play two T20Is in Belfast on June 26 and 28, followed by five matches in England from July 1 to 11. They will also play in the Mens T20 event at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, in September. Suryakumar, 35, had captained India to a successful defence of the T20 World Cup title in March, but his prolonged lean patch was always a concern. He managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76, while his World Cup returns 242 runs at a strike rate of 136.72 were modest. With the next T20 World Cup scheduled for 2028, the selectors felt the time was right to move on and make Shreyas the sides captain, while Tilak Varma is appointed as the vice-captain. Shubman Gill was vice-captain leading into World Cup. But when we decided to have two keepers he missed out. Axar Patel was vice-captain, but we're looking at what's best for the next two-year cycle. Tilak is a terrific player, and it gives him an opportunity to learn on the job, added Agarkar. Shreyas, 31, returns to the T20I fold after making his last appearance coming in December 2023. Though he was part of the squad against New Zealand earlier this year, he did not feature in the playing eleven. With him coming in, hes now expected to bat at number four, a position held previously by Suryakumar. Sooryavanshis inclusion is equally eyecatching, after being Player of the Final and Player of the Tournament in the 2026 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup triumph. The Rajasthan Royals batter smashed 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30 in IPL 2026, and has now become the youngest player picked in an India mens squad since Sachin Tendulkar in 1989. Before the senior T20I tours, he will feature for India A in the triseries in Sri Lanka from June 9 to 21. Vaibhav's performances - he almost forced us to pick him. I know he's young, but two IPLs in a row, and we also know what he did at the Under-19 level. We can all see the kind of talent he has. We're hopeful if and when he gets an opportunity, he shows the same ability. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar. Seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, undergoing rehab for a meniscus tear surgery done in March, is back again, so as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Fast bowler Prince Yadav, who had an impactful time in IPL 2026, is included on tours of Ireland and England, while Jasprit Bumrah will come in for him in the Asian Games squad. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar.

Reward Sooryavanshi With T20I Cap, He's Ticked All The Boxes: Gandhi
India T20I: Former India cricketer and national selector Devang Gandhi said teenaged left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has to be rewarded with an India T20I cap, adding that he has ticked all boxes and could even one day terrorise Test match bowlers as well. Sooryavanshi, who was the Player of the Tournament in India winning the 2026 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup, is poised to become the youngest cricketer in an India mens squad since Sachin Tendulkars debut in 1989. He had an outstanding time while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, where he amassed 776 runs at a staggering strike rate of 237.30. Sooryavanshi, 15, will next turn out for India A in the 50-over triseries against Afghanistan A and hosts Sri Lanka A from June 9 to 21 in Dambulla. I think the way to handle him is reward him with an India cap because the way he's performed in the last two years - he's hitting all the top bowlers of the world. In the first year, a lot of people said that was the first year. But look at the way he's hitting. He's hitting in front, right? He's playing all authentic shots. What was heartening for me to see is that if you remember his last two knocks, he got 27-ball 94 (97). In the last game, in Qualifier 2 where RR lost, he got 90-odd (96). But in different circumstances, right? There were wickets falling from the other end. He was rotating the strike. So, if required, he can shift gears, which is more alarming for world cricket, right? Gandhi said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Friday. Looking ahead, Gandhi believes Sooryavanshi's further development as a cricketer would require exposure to the 50-over and red-ball formats through India A set-up, while focus should also be on improving his fielding. A boy who is so mature that he can even take singles, play the situation, yet maintain a strike rate of 200-plus, right? So, for me, he has ticked all the boxes. One aspect which he can still work on is his fielding because we haven't seen him field a lot during IPLs, right? But also going ahead for his holistic development as a cricketer, I'm sure there will be plans to make him play more of India A games as well, whether it is the 50-over format or the red-ball. A player of that calibre, that talent definitely needs to be groomed, counselled, so that we can see him more. Can you imagine him playing Test matches with the same authority? Not exactly like that. But even half of it, it'll be such a delight to watch him playing Test cricket, he said. At the same time, Gandhi allowed himself to dream of what Sooryavanshi could do in Test cricket. It will be the bowlers who will be having heart attacks, right? They must be wondering how to stop this boy. I mean, he is absolutely marvellous. I mean, I am running out of superlatives to describe such a young boy. He is taking all the bowlers to the cleaners, basically, whether it is spinners, fast bowlers and the authority with which he is batting is really pleasing to me. As I said, we are running out of adjectives, superlatives, and ways to describe him. But he is simply mind-boggling. Apart from Sooryavanshi, Rajat Patidar will also be in huge focus after being the driving force behind Royal Challengers Bengalurus successful defence of their IPL crown as both captain and batter. But with Shreyas Iyer in equally good form, how the selectors could accommodate Patidar remains to be seen. He is taking all the bowlers to the cleaners, basically, whether it is spinners, fast bowlers and the authority with which he is batting is really pleasing to me. As I said, we are running out of adjectives, superlatives, and ways to describe him. But he is simply mind-boggling. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think selectors will definitely reward him with a place in the squad. I don't know whether he'll feature in the playing XI or not, but I think definitely on the basis of his performance, he definitely deserves a spot, added Gandhi. Article Source: IANS

IAF, DRDO conduct successful flight tests of RudraM-II Air-to-Surface missile
New Delhi [India], June 2 : The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Tuesday successfully conducted flight tests of the RudraM-II air-to-surface missile from an SU-30 MKI fighter jet. The tests were carried out under extreme release conditions and along a critical trajectory, demonstrating the capability of all the Anti-Radiation Missiles subsystems. According to the Ministry of Defence, the missile successfully guided itself to a predefined target after launch and struck it with pinpoint accuracy. All trial objectives were achieved, as confirmed by flight data collected through various range instruments deployed by the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, Odisha. RudraM-II is an indigenously developed, solid-propellant air-launched missile designed for air-to-surface missions. The weapon is intended to neutralise a wide range of enemy assets and incorporates several advanced indigenous technologies developed by various DRDO laboratories. The missile has been developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad, the nodal DRDO laboratory for the project, in collaboration with other DRDO facilities including the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), and ITR. Several Development-cum-Production Partners (DcPPs), along with agencies such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness (RCMA), the Missile System Quality Assurance Agency (MSQAA), and other industry partners, also contributed to the programme. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the efforts of DRDO, the IAF, defence public sector undertakings, industry partners and other stakeholders involved in the project, the MoD statement added. He stated that the tests have demonstrated the growing maturity of indigenous defence technologies, contributing significantly to Aatmanirbharta in advanced weapon systems. Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO also congratulated all teams associated with the programme for the successful achievement. The latest tests mark another milestone in Indias efforts to strengthen its indigenous missile capabilities. In May 2024, DRDO had successfully flight-tested the RudraM-II missile from a Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter aircraft off the coast of Odisha. The trial met all objectives and validated the missiles propulsion system as well as its control and guidance algorithms. The missiles performance during the 2024 trial was assessed through data collected by electro-optical systems, radar and telemetry stations deployed by ITR Chandipur at multiple locations, including an onboard ship. Earlier, on May 2, 2024, DRDO had successfully flight-tested Indias first indigenously developed New Generation Anti-Radiation Missile (NGARM), also known as RudraM-I, at the Chandan Range in Rajasthan. The missile achieved its intended range and struck the target with a miss distance of just five metres. The test successfully demonstrated the operation of the missiles warhead during the terminal phase of flight. Launched from a Sukhoi-30MKI aircraft of the IAF, the missile accurately navigated towards its target before the warhead detonated and destroyed it. The trial validated several key technologies, including safe weapon separation from the aircraft, the dual-pulse solid propulsion system, guidance and control algorithms, electro-mechanical actuation systems, the end-game processor based on laser altimeter measurements, and the safe-arm mechanism used for warhead detonation. RudraM-I has been designed primarily for Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) missions. Developed by DRDL, Hyderabad, as the nodal laboratory, the project received support from several DRDO laboratories including RCI, Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL), ARDE, HEMRL, Instruments Research and Development Establishment (IRDE), ITR, and Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL), along with multiple industry partners.
