• Suryavanshi is in Australia with India U19 ahead of the second Youth Test at Mackay’s Great Barrier Reef Arena beginning Tuesday, October 7.
• RR high‑performance director Zubin Bharucha publicly urged selectors to fast‑track the left‑hander, stating he should be “blooded into the senior team immediately” or sent on an India A tour.
• The 14‑year‑old’s rise includes a 38‑ball 101 in IPL 2025 (second‑fastest in league history), a 113 off 86 balls in the first Youth Test in Brisbane, the youngest Ranji debut at 12 years 284 days, and an INR 1.10 crore RR auction buy.
• Despite the lobbying and widespread praise, there has been no India A or senior call‑up reported, with conversation also centering on fitness and careful management of his workload.
