92. Sooryavanshi falls eight short of youngest Duleep centurion record
Sooryavanshi's 92 leaves him eight runs short of Tendulkar's youngest centurion record.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 92 for East Zone against Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy semifinal in Bengaluru. The 15-year-old fell eight runs short of Sachin Tendulkar's record as the youngest centurion in the competition.
Sooryavanshi reached his half-century in 42 balls, becoming the youngest player to score a fifty in Duleep Trophy history. Rajat Patidar took a sensational catch to end the innings on the third day.
East Zone reached the final with a four-wicket victory. The team will face either South Zone or North Zone at Chepauk from September 6.
CricHubb Take
Missing the century by such a narrow margin may prove more valuable for Sooryavanshi's development than achieving it, as it demonstrates both his scoring range and areas for refinement.
