In the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal held in Bangalore, Vaibha Suryavanshi demonstrated his bowling skills. The 15-year-old player from the Eastern Zone put the opponent in a difficult position by taking two wickets in just one over during the second innings of the North-East Zone team.
The North-East Zone scored only 111 runs in the first innings, while the Eastern Zone managed to score 467 runs in its first innings. Subsequently, the North-East Zone team, which started playing in the follow-on, continued to lose batsmen in the second innings.
Left-arm slow orthodox spinner Vaibha Suryavanshi took the ball in the 27th over and secured two wickets. First, he dismissed Kishan Lingdoh, who had a personal score of 25 runs, on the second ball of the over. Lingdoh scored 2 fours and 1 six off 40 balls.
After this, on the fifth ball of the over, Vaibha dismissed Imlivati Lemtur as his second victim. Lemtur managed to score only 4 runs, playing 3 balls. Thus, Vaibha took two wickets in one over.
Vaibha's bowling statistics were also impressive: he took 2 wickets, conceding 11 runs in 3 overs. It is worth noting that Vaibha's contribution as a batsman was minor; in the first innings for the Eastern Zone, he was dismissed after scoring 8 runs, making 2 fours in his short innings of 6 balls.
In response to the Eastern Zone's 467 runs, the North-East Zone could only manage 111 runs in the first round. Even after the follow-on, the team's condition did not improve, and 8 batsmen were lost by the time the score reached 102 runs.
