Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines as Player of the Tournament in the ICC U-19 World Cup Team of the Tournament.
Batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was among the three Indians named in the Team of the Tournament for the ICC Under-19 World Cup on Sunday (February 8, 2026).
The 14-year-old Sooryavanshi, who scored a majestic 175 from 80 balls in the final against England and was subsequently crowned Player of the Tournament, is joined by compatriots Kanishk Chouhan and Henil Patel in the 12-member team. India won the title for a record extending sixth time.
Chouhan made consistently valuable contributions with bat and ball, while Patel’s 11 wickets included a superb spell of five for 16 against the USA.
Runners-up England are also represented by three players, with Thomas Rew named as the captain and wicketkeeper.
Rew scored 330 runs at an average of exactly 66, including a match-winning century in the semi-final against Australia.
Manny Lumsden, who was the tournament’s top wicket-taker with 16, and Ben Mayes, the competition’s leading run-scorer with 444, including 191 against Scotland, join Rew in the team.
