Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is on the verge of creating history. If India hand him a debut in the first T20I against Ireland in Belfast on Friday, the 15-year-old will become the youngest player to represent India in international cricket, going past Sachin Tendulkar’s long-standing record.
Sooryavanshi will be 15 years and 91 days old if he takes the field. Tendulkar was 16 years and 205 days old when he made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Christian Pulisic returned to the field for the United States on Thursday night just in time to warm up for the World Cup games that really matter starting next week.

So much has been made about the prices in the United States compared to those that soccer fans generally encounter around the world.
That, along with the difference in atmosphere and the hydration breaks, have been major talking points during this year’s tournament.
The U.S. national team lost 3-2 to Turkey Thursday night in the 2026 Men’s World Cup, but the Americans will still advance to the Round of 32 after securing two wins in their group.
