Currently, this record is held by Ireland's Joshua Little. He played his first match in 2016 against Hong Kong at the age of 16 years and 309 days.
Vaibhav has already proven his talent by scoring the fastest century in List A cricket.
However, the record for the youngest debut in international cricket across all formats belongs to Pakistan's Hasan Raza.
Hasan played his first Test match against Zimbabwe in 1996 at the tender age of 14 years and 227 days.
A few days later, he also made his ODI debut, making him the youngest player in both formats.

"Giving young talents a chance at the right time is crucial for the future of any sport, and it inspires them to become great players."
In Test cricket, after Hasan Raza, comes Pakistan's Mushtaq Mohammad, who debuted at the age of 15 years and 124 days.
India's legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar is also on this list. He made his Test debut against Pakistan at the age of 16 years and 205 days.
Hasan Raza is also at the top in ODIs. He is followed by players like Pakistan's Aaqib Javed and Shahid Afridi.
Sachin Tendulkar made his ODI debut at the age of 16 years and 238 days.
In the T20 format, Joshua Little is followed by young players like Afghanistan's Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Pakistan's Mohammad Amir.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's potential debut is an exciting moment for Indian cricket. It also reflects Indian cricket's policy of encouraging young players.
If Vaibhav gets a chance, all eyes will be on his performance. This could prove to be a significant step for his career and the future of Indian cricket.
