Teen Prodigy Shines: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Appointed Bihar's Vice-Captain in Ranji Trophy

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricket prodigy, has been appointed vice-captain for Bihar's first two Ranji Trophy matches. Known for his IPL debut at 13, he holds a world record for the fastest century in T20 by a teenager. Suryavanshi may join India for the Under-19 World Cup.

Fourteen-year-old cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been named Bihar's vice-captain for the inaugural two matches of the forthcoming Ranji Trophy season commencing on Wednesday.

The announcement, made by the Bihar Cricket Association on Sunday, sees Suryavanshi join captain Sakibul Gani as the team prepares to face Arunachal Pradesh in their Plate League opener on October 15 at the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium.

Despite Suryavanshi's young age, he has already made an impact with an Indian Premier League contract at 13 and a record-setting century, solidifying his potential for India's Under-19 World Cup squad next year.
