In this instance, the 15-year-old will lead the side in their first two matches, at Saurashtra on November 14 and at Railways on November 16, at Indore.
Bihar assistant coach Ashok Kumar said that Sooryavanshi is fit for the task and feels that it will help shape him for the future. It follows captain Sakibul Gani’s regular injury and is expected to affect the middle order.
