Bangla Press Desk: It's like the flip side of a coin. Vaibhav Suryavanshi sets some kind of record as soon as he steps onto the field.
He also set a record in the T20 series against Zimbabwe. The left-handed opener won the youngest player of the series award.
Vaibhav, who was responsible for opening the innings, has a bigger responsibility this time. He has become the vice-captain of the domestic team. He will assist Ishan Kishan in the Duleep Trophy. The 15-year-old batter has become the vice-captain of the Eastern Zone team led by Kishan.
There are several other familiar faces in the Eastern Zone. They are Mohammed Shami, Mukesh Kumar, Abhimanyu Ishwar and Shahbaz Ahmed. However, there was no place for Bengal's Akash Deep and Abhishek Porel, who have been making a name for themselves in domestic cricket.
Although the start of international cricket against England was not good, Suryavanshi has made his mark in the Zimbabwe series. The left-handed batsman scored two half-centuries in the three-match T20 series. He was named man of the series with 151 runs in the series that whitewashed the opposition.
Eastern Region Team: Ishan Kishan (captain), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (vice-captain), Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sudeep Kumar Gharami, Shahbaz Ahmed, Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal, Mohammed Shami, Mukesh Kumar, Kumar Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan, Anukul Roy, Virat Singh, Shuvrangshu Senapati, Dinesh Das and Abhijit Sarkar. Standby: Ayush Loharuka, Sridam Pal, Sambit S. Baral, Sharandeep Singh and Swastik Samal. Source: kaler kontho
