Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka lauded teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's inclusion in the India A squad for the Sri Lanka tri-series. The 15-year-old's rapid rise, marked by an U19 World Cup final century, earned praise. Ayush Badoni also features, with selectors focusing on grooming young talent for future international commitments.

In a moment that has captured the imagination of cricket fans across the nation, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka has led the celebrations for teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after his stunning call-up to the India A squad for the upcoming tri-series in Sri Lanka. The 15-year-old batting prodigy, who first burst onto the scene with his fearless strokeplay, has been rewarded for a remarkable year that included a breathtaking century in the U19 World Cup final.

Goenka, known for his passionate support of young talent, took to social media to share his excitement. "Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's selection for the India A squad should be celebrated for many reasons, the biggest one being how far this young man has come in such a short time," he wrote. "From his IPL debut last year to scoring 175 in the U19 World Cup final and being named Player of the Tournament, the country has been watching with awe. In just a year, he has shown incredible talent, fearlessness and the hunger to keep getting better."

The BCCI announced a 15-member squad captained by Tilak Varma for the one-day tri-series in Dambulla, which also features Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. The selectors have clearly focused on grooming the next generation, with the squad including promising names like Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, and Anshul Kamboj alongside Sooryavanshi and Lucknow Super Giants' consistent performer Ayush Badoni.

For Sooryavanshi, this selection marks another milestone in a rapid rise that has seen him go from domestic standout to international reckoning. His aggressive batting style and maturity beyond his years have made him one of the most exciting young prospects in Indian cricket. Badoni, meanwhile, continues to knock on the door of senior national selection with his dependable performances for LSG.

As these young stars prepare to wear the India A jersey, the message from the cricketing fraternity is clear: the future of Indian cricket is in good hands. Goenka summed it up perfectly: "Delighted to also see Ayush Badoni in the squad. Congratulations to both. Make India proud."
