Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become the youngest captain in men’s T20 history at 15 years and 232 days. He led Bihar against Saurashtra on Saturday in the 2026-27 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at the Holkar Stadium.
The record makes him the youngest player ever to captain a side in a men’s T20 match, breaking the previous age record for the role.
## A record at 15
Sooryavanshi, aged 15 years and 232 days, took charge of Bihar in the domestic T20 tournament match against Saurashtra. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is India’s main domestic T20 competition, and captaining a state side in it at 15 is a rare achievement at any level of the game.
The teenager has been one of the most talked-about young cricketers in India, and the captaincy record adds to a fast-growing reputation in domestic cricket.
