Vaibhav Sooryavanshi IND vs IRE Tickets: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may not have played an international match yet, but the excitement surrounding the teenage sensation is already being felt well beyond India's borders. The 15-year-old batting prodigy is expected to make his senior debut during India's upcoming T20I series against Ireland, and the anticipation has transformed Friday's opening match in into one of the most sought-after sporting events in the city. Whether Sooryavanshi ultimately features in the playing XI remains uncertain, but the possibility alone has generated remarkable interest.

Cricket Ireland Confirms Huge Demand

Speaking to The Indian Express, Cricket Ireland chairman Brian MacNeice admitted the demand for tickets has been overwhelming.

"My phone is buzzing all the time with people looking for tickets. Unfortunately, we can host only 4,500-5000 fans. We could have filled it three times over if we had the room for it. Tickets were sold in minutes and even now people are looking for tickets,"

MacNeice also highlighted how much attention Sooryavanshi has attracted ahead of the series opener.

"It's huge. Everybody's talking about it. He's obviously a really exciting talent. And that potentially he's making his debut tomorrow means people want to be in the 'I was there' moment. He's just grabbed everybody's attention,"
