Vaibhav Sooryavanshi becomes the youngest captain in men’s T20 cricket history as he leads Bihar against Saurashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Multiple outlets say he breaks the previous record held by Croatia’s Zach Vukusic, and that the milestone is marked during Sooryavanshi’s captaincy debut at age 15.
Alongside the record, outlets report that his batting output is modest in the match: he scores 18 runs and is dismissed, with one report specifying he is caught and bowled by left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya. Coverage also notes the match result, with Bihar losing to Saurashtra by five wickets.
Several stories add lighter or longer context about the moment, including a “forgot the playing XI” incident at the toss and a video of his dismissal that goes viral. Other coverage frames the achievement as part of a fast-rising career, including his recent national exposure and plans to join India A for an upcoming tournament in Doha.
