New Delhi: In the semi-final match of Duleep Trophy against Central Zone, a very historic scene was seen on the field.

When Vaibhav took over the responsibility of captaincy in the 19th over of the first innings of Central Zone, a smiling confidence could be clearly seen on his face.

Captaining the senior team for the first time

This is the first time that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been seen captaining a senior men's team. This is only the 10th first-class and second Duleep Trophy match for Vaibhav, who made his youngest debut in first-class cricket through Ranji Trophy in the beginning of the year 2024. Earlier this month, when Vaibhav was appointed the vice-captain of East Zone, the selectors' decision was much debated.

In the victory against North East Zone in the first round of Duleep Trophy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi could not perform much with the bat and was out after scoring only 8 runs in the first innings. But he showed his versatility and took 2 wickets with the ball and played an important role in the team's innings victory.
