Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Makes History as Bihar Captain at 15
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest-ever captain in T20 cricket when he walked out to lead Bihar against Saurashtra. Speaking at the toss, the teenager also spoke about what the captaincy appointment meant to him, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to lead his state side.
"We are going to bat first, sir. (Reason?) Nothing much. The wicket looks good. It looks a bit dry as well. So, hopefully the spinners get some grip in the 2nd Innings. (On being appointed as the captain of Bihar) Of course sir. This is a big achievement for me. From where I started my cricket journey to lead that state, I am very grateful. I will try to fulfill my roles. (Team Combination) Sir, I have forgotten it (chuckles)."
This is not Sooryavanshi's first experience of leadership. He previously served as East Zone's vice-captain in the Duleep Trophy under Ishan Kishan. The youngster took charge when Kishan left the field due to an injury. East Zone won the title after securing a 372-run first-innings lead over South Zone in the drawn final.
