Vaibhav Sooryavanshi missed his maiden Duleep Trophy century by just 8 runs on August 31, 2026, in Bengaluru. We watched the video of the 15-year-old walk back after scoring 92 off 81 balls for East Zone against Central Zone. Our sources said the clip of his reaction is the part fans cannot stop watching.
Watch the video, and you see the heartbreak on his face. He slammed the bat and hung his head after Harsh Dubey found the edge. Arshad Khan completed the catch on the second ball of the 26th over.
The knock still packed heat. Seven fours. Seven sixes. A fifty in only 42 balls. Watch that fifty again and you see why selectors keep talking about him.

We talked to fans who paused the video at the moment he got out. One said the look on his face hurt more than the missing 8 runs. Another wrote that a century was so close you could almost touch it.

Watch Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Break a 57-Year Record, Then Fall for 92
He became the youngest player to score a Duleep Trophy fifty at 15 years and 157 days. The old mark belonged to Laxman Singh from 1969. Watch the six off Saransh Jain that took him to 50 and the crowd noise jumps.

A hundred would have broken Sachin Tendulkar’s record as the youngest Duleep Trophy centurion. Tendulkar did it at 17 years and 262 days in 1990/91. Eight runs stopped that headline.
Sooryavanshi opened with Abhimanyu Easwaran and the pair put on 161. East Zone needed that start in the semifinal at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1. Watch the stand and you see two different gears working together.
His previous first-class best was 93 for Bihar against Meghalaya. Today’s 92 sits right next to that. The video of the walk-off will follow him until the next big knock.
We watched the clip more than once. Young batter. Big stage. Short of a hundred by 8. Press play and you feel the miss with him.
