Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Indian cricket team’s explosive batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi is once again in the headlines. This time the reason is not his cricket performance, but his jersey. 15-year-old Vaibhav, playing for East Zone in Duleep Trophy 2026, was out cheaply in his debut match itself. In the quarter-final match against North Zone, he was out after scoring just 8 runs. However, the tape on his jersey returning after being out caught everyone’s attention.
The tape on Vaibhav’s jersey attracted attention
Actually, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s jersey was taped in such a way that only number 3 was visible written on the back. However, the official reason why he did this has not been revealed yet. But according to many reports, it is believed that a wrong number may have been printed on his jersey and Vaibhav may have used tape to hide it. Apart from this, there is a possibility that Vaibhav may have done this to retain his favorite number 3.
Old relation with number 3
Let us tell you, 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has an old connection with jersey number 3. He wears the same jersey number while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. Apart from this, even during his debut for Team India, the number 3 was on his jersey. In such a situation, it is believed that he may have tried to show the same number in Duleep Trophy also.
Got a big responsibility in Duleep Trophy
The East Zone team has entrusted a big responsibility to Vaibhav Suryavanshi for Duleep Trophy 2026. The team has appointed him as its vice-captain. The special thing is that Vaibhav is handling the responsibility of such a big domestic team at the age of just 15 years. Let us tell you, Ishan Kishan is captaining the East Zone this season.
