Bengaluru witnessed the early exit of teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as he was dismissed for a mere eight runs against North East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. Opening the innings for East Zone alongside Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sooryavanshi quickly made an impact by hitting back-to-back boundaries. However, his brief stint at the crease came to an abrupt end when he edged a delivery from Bishworjit Konthoujam to Joseph Lalthankhuma at gully.
The North East pacer sealed his dismissal with the final ball of his first over. North East Zone opted to bat first, giving Sooryavanshi a chance to make an impression in the format where he has yet to establish himself. Despite being named East Zone's vice-captain alongside India pacer Mohammed Shami, Sooryavanshi's first-class numbers remain limited.
Playing eight first-class matches and scoring just over 17 runs with a highest score of 93, the Duleep Trophy provided the young player with an opportunity to gain valuable experience against an inexperienced North East Zone attack.
