In a standout performance during the Duleep Trophy 2026 quarter-final, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showcased his all-round capabilities. The 15-year-old Indian cricketer, after a brief and disappointing innings with the bat, made a significant impact with his bowling. He took two wickets in just four deliveries for East Zone against North East Zone at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru on Tuesday. Sooryavanshi’s ability to bounce back emphasizes his potential as a key player in the tournament.
Walking out in East Zone colours as the side’s vice-captain under skipper Ishan Kishan, Sooryavanshi had a disappointing outing with the bat. The young left-hander struck two crisp boundaries off Manipur pacer Bishworjit Konthoujam before being dismissed for eight runs off six balls. Another Dimension Of Sooryavanshi’s Game
The excellent bowling performance from Sooryavanshi highlighted another dimension to the his game. Already known for explosive batting that earned him early international recognition, the Rajasthan Royals and India T20I opener showed composure and skill with the ball after his modest batting return, adding valuable first-class wickets and contributing to a dominant team result.
