Duleep Trophy: 15-Year-Old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Breaks 57-Year-Old Record with Rapid Fifty
The 15-year-old scored 92 off 81 balls for East Zone and broke a 57-year-old record before falling eight runs short of a century.
- In Bengaluru on Monday, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest batter to score a Duleep Trophy fifty, smashing 92 off 81 balls for East Zone against Central Zone.
- Sooryavanshi surpassed the 57-year-old record previously held by Laxman Singh, who was 16 years and 23 days old when he achieved the Duleep Trophy fifty in 1969.
- Falling eight runs short, Sooryavanshi narrowly missed a historic century; had he reached 100, he would have broken Sachin Tendulkar's record for youngest Duleep Trophy centurion, set at 17 years and 262 days.
- After striking 11 runs in an over from Saransh Jain, Sooryavanshi attempted to attack left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey but mistimed a lofted sweep and picked out the fielder at mid-wicket.
- Beyond his batting, Sooryavanshi has also contributed with the ball, taking 2/11 in three overs, underlining his versatility as an emerging prospect in Indian domestic cricket.
