Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, aged 15 years and 175 days, became the youngest batter to score a half‑century in the Duleep Trophy during a semi‑final match, according to Times of India. He amassed 92 runs off 81 balls, narrowly missing a century, and briefly captained East Zone after Ishan Kishan’s injury.
Analysis: The record highlights Sooryavanshi’s precocious batting ability and suggests a bright future in Indian cricket, while his short stint as captain underscores early leadership exposure. Nonetheless, the achievement remains confined to a single domestic fixture, and sustained performance at higher levels will determine the lasting significance of the milestone.
