Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's Duleep Trophy campaign began with a disappointing dismissal for just eight runs. He edged a delivery from Bishworjit Konthoujam to gully after a brief aggressive start. The young batter is yet to establish himself in first-class cricket for Bihar. East Zone, led by Ishan Kishan, also features Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar.
