Watch: Captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s brave DRS call gets East Zone crucial wicket
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, at just 15, stepped into captaincy for East Zone during the Duleep Trophy semifinal after regular captain Ishan Kishan had to withdraw due to injury. His decisive action to challenge a caught behind appeal was a testament to his poise and growing prowess as a leader. East Zone's bowlers effectively maintained pressure throughout the match's initial session.
In a remarkable display of composure and instinct, 15-year-old captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showcased exceptional leadership during the Duleep Trophy semifinal between East Zone and Central Zone in Bengaluru. When East Zone was chasing control over the proceedings, Sooryavanshi took charge and made a crucial decision in the 40th over.
After an appeal for a caught behind was dismissed by the on-field umpire, Sooryavanshi opted for a Decision Review System (DRS) review. His swift action proved to be right, as the UltraEdge technology detected a small spike when Aryan Juyal pushed hard at a delivery from Mukesh Kumar outside the off stump. The review led to Juyal's dismissal, giving East Zone a vital breakthrough and highlighting Sooryavanshi's growing maturity in his first senior first-class cricket leadership role.
