Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the Orange Cap holder in the 2026 Indian Premier League. The young player has scored 579 runs in 13 games, averaging 44.54 and striking at 236. There were hopes that the player will make it to Team India. The squad for the three ODIs against Afghanistan was released on May 19, and there were expectations that the young talent will get a chance, but the selectors overlooked him.

The player has hit 53 sixes in the ongoing season and even managed to score sixes against bowlers such as Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Despite all this, the player did not make it to the Indian ODI team. There are five reasons why the player was overlooked.

First, let's explain what Ajit Agarkar said. Team India's chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, stated that Yashasvi Jaiswal is in the ODI team's plans before Vaibhav Suryavanshi. If anyone gets a chance, Jaiswal will get it first. This is why Vaibhav Suryavanshi didn't find a place in the team. However, there are four other reasons why Suryavanshi was overlooked.
