Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest man to play for India in England’s thrilling four-wicket victory in the second T20 at Old Trafford.

At 15 years and 99 days, the opener broke the record set by the great Sachin Tendulkar when he played a Test against Pakistan aged 16 years and 205 days in 1989.

While Sooryavanshi shone with 14 off 10 balls in India’s 190-7 rout, it was England’s own protégé Jacob Bethell who steered them to victory with an over to spare.

Bethell scored an impressive unbeaten 76 off 46 balls to give the home team a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Sooryavanshi’s inclusion sent a frisson of excitement through Old Trafford, giving a boisterous and partisan crowd more reasons to make noise.

And the left-hander gave a brief glimpse into the exciting stroke-play that has captivated the cricket world.

From the fourth delivery he faced, and the first from England fast bowler Jofra Archer, Sooryavanshi boldly attacked over his shoulder for six. In the next over, Josh Tongue was beaten at cow corner for six.

In the fifth over, Sooryavanshi looked set to attack Will Jacks’ spin, only to bowl a flatter one and be stumped.

Ishan Kishan made 49, Abhishek Sharma 43 and Shreyas Iyer 37, but India were stifled by the tight bowling of Jacks and Sam Curran, the latter taking 3-33. The tourists scored 23 off the last seven balls, but their total was no better than par.

From 1-2 after the first over, England started with 39 off 15 balls from captain Harry Brook, followed by a stand of 67 between Bethell and Tom Banton.

England needed 49 off the last four, when Bethell faced Ravi Bishnoi’s spin, hammering three sixes for a total of 29 in the 17th over.

And Archer calmly chipped away at the winning runs from the last ball of the 19th over to put England ahead heading into the third match of the series at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.
