BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The village of Tajpur in Bihar’s Samastipur district turned into a festive mood on Saturday afternoon as teenaged left-handed batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi earned a maiden call-up to India’s squads for the T20I tours of Ireland and England, as well as the Asian Games in Japan.
As soon as Sooryavanshi’s name was announced in all three squads by BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia at the board’s headquarters in Mumbai, it sparked jubilant scenes, with neighbours, relatives and people in the village thronging to his home, distributing laddus and even bursting crackers.
With everyone gathering at Sooryavanshi’s residence to congratulate his family and soak in the joy of him earning a spot in the Indian team, his father Sanjeev Sooryavanshi has since been on cloud nine. “We were at home and were waiting for something good to happen. We were very happy when the announcement was made.
