Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was dismissed for eight runs off six balls on his Duleep Trophy debut for East Zone against North East Zone in Bengaluru. East Zone captain Ishan Kishan also fell cheaply for four. Despite the openers' failures, Sudip Kumar Gharami (54 not out) and Kumar Kushagra (55) helped East Zone reach 138 for 5 at lunch.
East Zone later posted 467 all out, driven by hundreds from Shahbaz Ahmed and Gharami. Abhijit K Sarkar then took five wickets to bowl out North East Zone for 111 and enforce the follow-on. Sooryavanshi, who was also East Zone vice-captain, attracted attention for taping over part of the number on his jersey, with fans speculating it was to keep his preferred No. 3.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets lead with Sooryavanshi's low score, but timesnownews.com devotes most of its coverage to his taped jersey and numerology backstory, framing the debut as a curiosity rather than a cricketing event. Rediff.com keeps the focus on the match itself, reporting the team totals and the follow-on enforcement, giving a fuller picture of the contest. The balanced reading is that Sooryavanshi's eight-run innings is a minor setback for a 15-year-old, and the match narrative is dominated by East Zone's strong recovery through Gharami and Ahmed, plus Sarkar's five-wicket haul.
