Vaibhav Sooryavanshi score today in Duleep Trophy 2026 Central Zone vs. East Zone semi-final

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is set to feature again as East Zone face Central Zone in the first semi-final of the Duleep Trophy 2026 in Bengaluru, with the young left-hander eager to make more of an impact with the bat this time around.

The 15-year-old had a quiet time batting in the previous round, managing just eight runs as East Zone cruised to a dominant innings-and-210-run win over North East Zone.

What he lacked with the bat, though, he more than made up for with an unexpected turn as a bowler. Handed the ball by captain Ishan Kishan, the left-arm orthodox spinner struck twice in one over and finished with impressive figures of 2 for 11 across three overs.
