Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi marked another significant milestone in his rapidly growing cricket career after captaining a senior team for the first time during the Duleep Trophy semi-final on Sunday. The 15-year-old, who was named vice-captain for the match, briefly took over the captaincy duties after skipper Ishan Kishan was forced to leave the field due to a finger injury.

Kishan Injured Behind the Stumps

The incident took place during the 19th over of Central Zone’s innings. Kishan, who was keeping wickets, was struck on his left hand while standing behind the stumps during an over bowled by Abhijit Sarkar.

The East Zone skipper received immediate attention from the team physios but was eventually forced to walk off the field due to the injury. Kumar Kushagra subsequently took over the wicketkeeping responsibilities, while Sooryavanshi stepped up as captain.
