Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi is proving to be a hit under the captaincy as well. He took charge of East Zone after regular captain Ishan Kishan was injured in the Duleep Trophy semi-final against Central Zone on Sunday (30 August). During this time, by taking the right decision of DRS, Vaibhav has shown that even at a young age, he has leadership qualities.
Vaibhav took this DRS in the second session of the game. In the 40th over of the Central Zone innings, Mukesh Kumar appealed for 'cut behind' against Aryan Juyal. The umpire rejected this appeal. After this the players of East Zone started discussing to take review. Vaibhav was hesitant before taking the review but he challenged the on-field umpire's decision just 3 seconds before the end of time.

His wicket fell at the score of 99.
