WATCH: Captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Forgets Playing XI, Hilarious Toss Moment Goes Viral

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had a memorable answer ready when asked about Bihar's team combination ahead of their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026-27 match against Saurashtra. The 15-year-old, who was leading Bihar for the first time, paused before admitting with a smile that he had forgotten the playing XI combination, creating an amusing moment during the toss presentation.

The exchange offered a lighter side to an otherwise historic occasion for the teenage batter, who had taken charge of Bihar at just 15 years and 232 days to become the youngest captain in men's T20 cricket. The moment came when the presenter asked Sooryavanshi about Bihar's team combination for the fixture.

Rather than listing the players, the young captain appeared momentarily lost for an answer. He eventually responded, "Bhool Gaye, Sir!" (I have forgotten, sir), prompting an amusing moment during the pre-match interaction.
