On November 14, teenage cricket prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made history by becoming the youngest captain in men's T20 cricket, but his debut as captain did not translate into a successful batting performance. At just 15 years and 232 days old, the left-handed batter was dismissed for a mere 18 runs against Saurashtra in Bihar's opening match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Elected to bat first after winning the toss, Sooryavanshi started aggressively, scoring off the very first ball he faced. However, he was soon dismissed for 18 runs when he mistimed a shot and the ball found its way into the hands of Saurashtra pacer Chetan Sakariya. Despite this, Sooryavanshi's record-breaking captaincy debut will be remembered in the annals of men's T20 cricket.
