Croatian player Jaak Vukusic's record broken, Vaibhav becomes global number-1 captain
Earlier, this unique record of becoming the youngest captain in the history of T20 cricket was held in the name of Croatian cricketer Jak Vukusic, who took the command of his national T20 team at the age of about 17 years and 311 days. But now Vaibhav Suryavanshi has left this record far behind and has achieved the number-1 position at the global level.
Let us tell you that only last week, Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) had announced its 17-member team for the first two matches of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which a very big and bold decision was taken to hand over the entire responsibility of the team to this young prodigy. Vaibhav has proved this trust shown by the team management right by coming on the field. In this match, Bihar team won the toss and decided to bat first, which also shows the aggressive and fearless thinking of this young captain.
'Vaibhav' name in the records book: Has already scored a historic century in T20 cricket
Making records and achieving great heights at a young age is nothing new for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, because his young career is already decorated with many wonderful achievements. Even before this, this talented player had attracted the attention of the country and the world with his batting. Last year, while playing against Maharashtra in the same Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Vaibhav created a sensation by scoring a stormy century in just 58 balls, which is considered to be the fastest century in SMAT history.
Apart from this, this player has also proved his talent in the world's biggest and popular T20 league i.e. IPL. Playing for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 season, he scored an aggressive century against Gujarat Titans in just 35 balls, and became the youngest batsman in the world to score a century in T20 cricket. Now by assuming this new responsibility of captaincy, he has proved that he is not only a brilliant aggressive opener but also a natural leader on whom great hopes of the future of Indian cricket rest.
