Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old vice-captain of East Zone, showcased his bowling skills in the Duleep Trophy by taking two wickets in a three-over spell during their victory against North East Zone. He humorously indicated that captain Ishan Kishan may not have initially recognized his potential as a wicket-taker. Sooryavanshi's efforts contributed to East Zone's innings and 210-run win, and he expressed his enjoyment in contributing with the ball despite limited performance with the bat.
