Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi assumed captaincy for East Zone during the Duleep Trophy semi-final against Central Zone in Bengaluru after regular skipper Ishan Kishan suffered a wrist injury.
Sooryavanshi, who has scored 215 runs in nine first-class matches at an average of 16.53, took charge during the 19th over of the Central Zone innings.
The teenager previously gained attention for scoring 776 runs in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals and earning Player of the Series honors in a three-match contest against Zimbabwe.
