Teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest-ever men’s T20 captain, leading Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Saurashtra on Saturday.
At 15 years and 232 days, Sooryavanshi eclipsed the record previously held by Croatia’s Zach Vukusic who led his side at 17 years 311 days.
The opening batter, however, couldn’t provide much fireworks as he fell after scoring 18 off 12 balls, an innings which includes two fours and a six.

Sooryavanshi, now a regular in India’s T20I squad, was named Bihar’s Ranji Trophy vice-captain last season and was also deputy to Ishan Kishan during the 2026-27 Duleep Trophy where East Zone emerged as the winner.
When Kishan was out of the field, Sooryavanshi led East Zone for a couple of sessions as well.
Sooryavanshi is likely to play another round of SMAT before joining the India A side for the Rising Stars Asia Cup in Qatar starting November 19.
