Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sets record as youngest men's T20 captain

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has taken charge of his state side Bihar at 15 years and 232 days old, setting a new record for top-level men's Twenty20 cricket.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become the youngest captain in top-level men's Twenty20 cricket after taking charge of his state side Bihar at the age of 15 years and 232 days. He broke the previous record held by Zach Vukusic, who captained Croatia at 17 years and 311 days. Despite Bihar losing their opening match in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to Saurashtra, the milestone adds to a growing list of achievements for the young player. Sooryavanshi previously became India's youngest men's international and the youngest player and centurion in the IPL following his debut as a 14-year-old.
