Bihar has named Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as captain for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, with Suraj Kashyap selected as vice-captain. The Bihar Cricket Association announces the leadership appointments as it reveals the state team’s squad for the tournament.
Several outlets highlight that the 15-year-old will take charge for his first official captaincy stint. NDTV notes he will lead Bihar in the team’s first two matches, while ESPN Cricinfo frames the story around the significance of his maiden captaincy role.
Some coverage also adds background on Sooryavanshi’s rise, including references to his performances in the Indian Premier League and international T20 cricket. Overall, outlets largely agree on the key team details—captaincy, vice-captain, and the tournament context—while differing mainly in the emphasis placed on his age, debut-like captaincy experience, and career trajectory.
