Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Becomes Youngest Bihar Captain in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but Forgets Team Combination at Toss
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made history as the youngest ever captain of the Bihar state cricket team during the 2026-27 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at just 15 years and 232 days old. Despite this milestone, at the toss before the match against Saurashtra, Sooryavanshi had a momentary lapse and forgot the playing combination of his team. Bihar elected to bat first but were bowled out for 137 runs, with Sooryavanshi scoring 18 runs. Saurashtra won the match comfortably, chasing the target in 16.3 overs. The young captain's appointment marked a significant turnaround for Bihar cricket amid ongoing challenges in the state's cricket administration.
