Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will create history and etch his name in the record books when he leads Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy game against Saurashtra on Saturday (November 14). At 15, Sooryavanshi will become the youngest-ever captain in T20 cricket's history. He will lead Bihar in only one game before leaving for the Emerging Asia Cup. Sooryavanshi isn't part of the ODI team and he is likely to be available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well.
Sooryavanshi has now become a regular for Team India in the T20I format. The left-handed batter earned his maiden T20I call-up after winning the Orange Cap in IPL 2026.
After staying on the bench against Ireland, Sooryavanshi made his debut against England. He stayed on the bench in the home series against Afghanistan and didn't get a chance to play against West Indies either. Sooryavanshi has played T20Is in Japan, England and Zimbabwe but is yet to play a game in India.
Jaydev Unadkat will be in action for Saurashtra in the tournament. The left-arm pacer has been playing domestic cricket for 16 years and is a regular for Saurashtra. He captained them to a title win in the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy.
Indian fans can enjoy the Bihar vs Saurashtra match on the JioHotstar app from 10:30 AM IST. The toss will take place at 10:00 AM IST.
