Vaibhav Suryavanshi captained Bihar in the Saeed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, setting a record as the youngest male captain in Indian T20 cricket.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was handed the reins of the Bihar side for the Saeed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Saurashtra. By taking on the role, he entered the record books as the youngest male captain ever in a domestic T20 competition in India.
The appointment came as part of Bihar's strategy to inject fresh leadership into a squad seeking better results in the high‑profile tournament. Suryavanshi, a promising middle‑order batsman, had previously featured in the state’s Under‑19 and senior teams, but this was his first stint as skipper at the senior level.

Bihar's management expressed confidence that Suryavanshi's calm demeanor and tactical acumen will benefit the team throughout the competition, while fans welcomed the historic appointment.
