Vaibhav Suryavanshi Hurt in the Nets, Doubtful for India A's Crunch Clash Against Sri Lanka A

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was forced to walk off mid-session after picking up an injury during nets in Dambulla, casting serious doubt over his availability for India A's must-win game against Sri Lanka A.

There is worrying news for India A out of Sri Lanka involving their young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Just ahead of a decisive tri-series fixture in Dambulla, the left-handed batter picked up an injury at practice and had to cut his net session short, walking off the ground. With the game against hosts Sri Lanka A shaping up as a must-win for the Indian side, the prospect of the in-form youngster sitting out is a major blow for both the team management and the fans.

What happened at practice
According to a social media report by TrendKia, Suryavanshi suddenly felt discomfort while batting during a net session at the Rangiri International Stadium in Dambulla. The pain grew sharp enough that he had to stop training midway and leave the field. So far neither the team management nor the medical staff has issued any detailed official statement on the severity of the injury, but sources suggest there is deep doubt over his participation in this crucial match.

 

He had just rediscovered form against Afghanistan A
Suryavanshi's start to this tri-series had not been impressive, with a couple of cheap dismissals. However, in the previous outing against Afghanistan A he hinted at a return to touch with a short but explosive knock of 44 runs. At the very moment India need a big win over the hosts, his injury is adding to the team's headaches.

Record-shattering IPL 2026
Earlier this year, playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, Suryavanshi shot to global fame almost overnight. His aggressive batting tore apart some of the biggest bowlers in the game. Across the season he bagged a total of 5 major awards — the prestigious Orange Cap, Most Valuable Player (MVP), Emerging Player of the Season, Supremo Super Striker of the Season, and the record for the most sixes in the season. He smashed a total of 72 towering sixes, demolishing West Indies great Chris Gayle's historic record of 59 sixes set back in 2012. His lone century of the season, against Sunrisers Hyderabad, along with being dismissed twice in the 90s, further underlined his talent.

His senior debut may be at risk too
On the back of this rampage in domestic cricket and the IPL, selectors fast-tracked him into the senior India squad for the upcoming T20 International series against Ireland and England. His much-awaited debut is widely expected to come in the series beginning June 26 in Belfast against Ireland. But this fresh injury, suffered during nets in Dambulla, could now delay that debut. Fans and selectors alike are watching his medical report closely, especially since India also have a big five-match T20 series against England lined up after the Ireland leg.

Where India A stand in the tri-series
In the ongoing A-team tri-series, India currently sit second on the points table. Of the two matches played, they have won one and lost one. India A bounced back superbly to beat Sri Lanka A in their opener, but in the rain-affected next game against Afghanistan A they suffered a narrow defeat by just 4 runs under the DLS method — a match in which the Indian bowlers leaked a massive 349 runs. Hosts Sri Lanka A, meanwhile, currently top the table on the strength of a better net run-rate (0.825). With that in mind, India must win this game at all costs to stay in the race for the final, and Suryavanshi's absence could prove to be a significant challenge.
