India’s 19‑year‑old all‑rounder Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has already made headlines with his explosive batting and disciplined bowling, is set to face Afghanistan’s formidable pace attack in the forthcoming Test match.
The encounter is scheduled to take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on 12‑15 September, marking a crucial test of the young player’s skill against a side known for its aggressive seamers.
