Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Becomes Youngest Captain In Men's T20 History

Young Indian batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi created history on Saturday, November 14 by becoming the youngest captain in men's T20 cricket.

At 15 years and 232 days, he led Bihar against Saurashtra in their opening match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in Indore on November 14.

With this achievement, Sooryavanshi broke the record of



Croatia's Zach Vukusic, who had captained his national team in a T20 International against Cyprus at the age of 17 years and 311 days on August 7, 2025.

Bihar appointed the teenager as captain for the first two matches of the tournament. The decision comes after the team suffered four consecutive defeats in the first half of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season.
