Career overview
How the India career developed.
This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s unusually early senior pathway requires precise dates rather than promotional labels. He debuted in first-class cricket for Bihar in January 2024 and received an IPL contract before the 2025 season.
His IPL century at 14 years and 32 days made him the youngest men’s T20 centurion. The senior India step followed against England at Old Trafford on 4 July 2026.
Only six T20Is appear in this reviewed international snapshot. Tests and ODIs are explicitly marked as not debuted so zeroes are not misread as completed career records.
