14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi pulled off a sensational spell in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League. The young gun from Bihar was the Rajasthan Royals' biggest plus in the franchise's wearied season.

Suryavanshi earned national recognition for his efforts and is playing a key role in the U19 competitions for Team India.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will serve as Bihar Cricket captain Sakibul Gani's deputy for the first two rounds of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season.

According to ESPNcricinfo, the appointment was made just two days before the season began.

The Bihar board is also said to establish a five-member selection committee as soon as possible.
