Bihar have appointed 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as their captain, continuing the youngster's meteoric rise in Indian domestic cricket. The decision marks an extraordinary show of faith in a player who has already drawn attention for his precocious talent at the crease.
Sooryavanshi's elevation to the leadership role at such a young age is rare in Indian cricket, where captaincy typically goes to seasoned veterans. The move signals Bihar's commitment to building their side around a generational talent who has consistently performed above his age group.
The appointment comes as Bihar look to strengthen their position in domestic competitions, with Sooryavanshi expected to lead from the front both as a batter and a tactical thinker on the field.
