Reacting to India not playing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the first T20I against Ireland, former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote on X, "Can’t believe India haven’t picked Vaibhav Sooryavanshi." He added that Sooryavanshi is the best T20 player in the world at the moment. Earlier, India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer said that Sooryavanshi will get his opportunity when the time comes.
