Prior to the ongoing U19 Triangular series, Vedant was a part of the IND U19 team that travelled to Australia for a multi-format tour. While he failed to get a spot in the preceding England tour in July, the youngster made the most of his opportunity against Australia.

Vedant’s knocks so far has been a testament to his technical brilliance and sheer skill, where he could take on the attack while setting a target, while also being able to play a very balanced innings in case of a chase. A top-order batter is a lucrative commodity in a league like IPL and a few teams will have their eyes on the youngster in the IPL 2026 auction.
