Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Dismissed for 8 in Duleep Trophy Quarterfinal Debut as East Zone Vice-Captain
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old T20 sensation with modest first-class cricket experience, was appointed vice-captain of East Zone for the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal against the inexperienced North East Zone. The tournament serves as an audition for India A hopefuls ahead of Australia A Tests. Despite his aggressive intent and two early boundaries, Sooryavanshi was dismissed for eight runs after six balls. The match highlights his ongoing development in red-ball cricket amid a strong East Zone squad including Ishan Kishan and Mohammed Shami.
