The Duleep Trophy, which begins on August 23, is considered one of the most prestigious competitions in Indian domestic cricket. Making him the vice-captain at such a young age in such a tournament shows the selectors’ complete faith in Vaibhav’s talent and leadership abilities. In recent months, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been consistently making headlines with his performances. After impressing with his explosive batting in limited-overs cricket, the young batsman will now face a new challenge of proving himself in red-ball cricket. Vaibhav recently scored tremendous runs on the Zimbabwe tour, which earned him the Player of the Series award. This impressive performance has seen Vaibhav jump 230 places in the ICC T20I rankings.

This time, East Zone has a strong mix of experienced and young players. Apart from captain Ishan Kishan, the team also includes experienced players like Mohammed Shami, Mukesh Kumar, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shahbaz Ahmed and Anukul Roy. The presence of such players will be a great learning opportunity for a young cricketer like Vaibhav. The selectors also keep an eye on players who have performed well in the Duleep Trophy. This will give Vaibhav Suryavanshi a golden opportunity to prove his talent in red-ball cricket and earn a place in the Indian Test team in the future.
