Teenage sensation Vaibhab Sooryavanshi once again failed to convert a brilliant start into triple figures as he got out for just eight runs in the third innings of the 2026 Duleep Trophy final between East Zone and South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in ChennaiSooryavanshi had smashed 44 in the first innings but fell short right before completing his second half-century of this edition.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has had a meteoric rise in the cricketing scene ever since his 600+ run season in the 2026 Indian Premier League edition for the Rajasthan RoyalsOn the back of that tremendous season, Sooryavanshi broke into the national T20I side, making his much-awaited debut in England followed by appearances in the series against Zimbabwe.
While he has impressed in his first six appearances for India, his performances in the red-ball format have raised questions about whether he will be able to replicate the white-ball success in Test cricket or not.
He opened the campaign with just eight runs against the North East Zone, followed by a 92 and 40 against Central ZoneSooryavanshi was expected to hit at least a couple of centuries but he has missed out on all of them.
In the on-going finale against South Zone, the 15-year-old amassed 44 runs in the first innings where East Zone posted a whopping 708 runs on the back of skipper Ishan Kishan’s 270.
Then after South Zone were bowled out for 336, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had the chance to finally play out a big knock but it wasn’t going to be the case. He was tricked by spinner Tripurana Vijay, who tossed up the ball full and around off-stump.
