East Zone end 13-year wait for Duleep Trophy title

East Zone ended a 13-year Duleep Trophy drought at Chennai, taking the title on first-innings lead against South Zone. Ishan Kishan, the captain, scored 270 and 80 to earn Player of the Match.

Mohammed Shami struck twice and broke a stubborn partnership, while five Jharkhand players each played their part. After the final wicket, Kishan shared a laugh with 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, ribbing him about the DRS reviews the teenager had reviewed.
