The 15-year-old was dismissed for 92 off 81 balls while attempting to clear the deep midwicket fence. Tendulkar remains the second-youngest Indian to score a First-Class century, achieving the feat at 15 years and 230 days in 1988. Sooryavanshi, however, became the youngest player to score a half-century in the Duleep Trophy.
