Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scores 8 runs in Duleep Trophy debut against North East Zone

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the East Zone vice-captain, was dismissed for 8 runs on his debut in the Duleep Trophy against North East Zone at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2 in Bengaluru on August 23, 2026. He hit two boundaries early but fell victim to Bishworjit Konthoujam on the next delivery. This tournament serves as a critical platform for Sooryavanshi, who has struggled in first-class cricket with an average just over 17. Despite the disappointing start, the young player faces the challenge of adapting from T20 to red-ball cricket. The match remains ongoing.
