Another milestone moment for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He became the youngest ever captain to lead the Bihar state team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT). At the age of only 15 years and 232 days, he made his debut as Bihar captain in this tournament.
As soon as he entered the ground for the toss today (November 14), he claimed the record. At the toss, the young prodigy faced a Rohit Sharma-like brain fade moment.
Amid the ongoing turbulent situation in Bihar cricket, the state cricket association, in a massive turnaround, appointed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as their skipper for the 2026-27 SMAT T20 tournament.
The announcement made by the cricket board itself was historic due to the age of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Based on his recent form and rapid growth in the international arena, the state cricket board named him to lead the team in the domestic competition.
Sooryavanshi was asked to describe how it felt for him to lead the team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament. The emerging opener mentioned at the toss that it was an honorary moment for him to lead his own state team. From the soil where he started to dream and play cricket, now in the role to lead the team, a dream come true moment for the batter.
"It is like a dream. It is a big thing to lead the state from where I started playing cricket. I am very grateful, and I will try to play the role that I have been given," Sooryavanshi stated at the toss.

He was later asked to tell something about the team combination and the playing eleven for the match against Saurashtra at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Sooryavanshi's response was not as fluid as his batting, as he could not properly remember the combination of the team.
"I think sir, I think I have forgotten," he replied.
Bihar lost the match vs Saurashtra
Winning the toss, Sooryavanshi elected to bat first. His decision, however,r did not prove fruitful for his team as he himself departed early in the innings and the rest of the batting line-up could not do anything significant against the Saurashtra bowling attack. In 20 overs, Bihar managed to score only 137 runs against 9 wickets. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored only 18 runs off 12 balls with a couple of 4s and one six.
For Saurashtra, Chetan Sakariya and Prerak Mankad claimed three wickets each. Skipper and experienced pacer Jaydev Unadkat and Krains Bhaveshbhai Fuletra grabbed one wicket each for the team.
Saurashtra needed only 16.3 overs to edge last Bihar's first innings total. Sooryavanshi used seven different bowlers to defend the total, but the day was simply not for the Bihar cricket team. Saurashtra lost their five batters, but through steady batting, they touched the finish line without facing much trouble. Saurashtra-led Bihar will next face Railways on November 16 at Daly College Ground in Indore.
