15-Year-Old Sooryavanshi's DRS Instincts Help East Zone Shock South Zone
East Zone played South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final.
East Zone scored 708 runs in its first innings.
South Zone then started trying to catch up.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is 15 years old, noticed that Ricky Bhui may have touched the ball with his bat.
He asked captain Ishan Kishan to use a review.
The technology showed that Bhui had edged the ball, so he was given out.
Sooryavanshi later suggested another review for Devdutt Padikkal, but that one showed the ball would miss the stumps.
This showed that he was helping his team with smart fielding decisions as well as batting.
East Zone made 708 in its first innings of the Duleep Trophy 2026 final.
On Day 3 in Chennai, South Zone began chasing a massive target.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi urged Ishan Kishan to review Ricky Bhui’s not-out decision.
UltraEdge showed Bhui had edged Mukesh Kumar’s delivery, overturning the decision.
A second review involving Devdutt Padikkal was unsuccessful after ball-tracking showed the ball missing the stumps.
