  "account": "Indore witnessed a playful moment on Saturday as 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, making his historic captaincy debut, momentarily forgot his team's playing XI after winning the toss against Saurashtra in the SMAT 2026-27 opener at the Holkar Stadium. Answering queries about the team's composition, Sooryavanshi chuckled, stating, \"I think, sir, bhool gaya lagta main (I think, sir, I have forgotten).\" The young cricketer, the youngest captain in men's T20 cricket history at 15 years and 232 days, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead his home state, describing it as a dream come true. Despite the lighthearted incident, Sooryavanshi's first appointment as captain proved to be unproductive, as Bihar scored 137/9 in their 20 overs, with Prithvi Raj's 38 runs being the only significant contribution.",
