Ishan Kishan's Unbeaten Century Leads East Zone to Strong Position in Duleep Trophy Final
East Zone captain Ishan Kishan scored an unbeaten 111 to lead his team to 385 for 4 on Day 1 of the Duleep Trophy 2026 final against South Zone at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. Kishan's century, his 10th in first-class cricket, was supported by strong contributions from Kumar Kushagra (63*), Abhimanyu Easwaran (72), Shikhar Mohan (85), and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (44). East Zone dominated the day, with South Zone's bowling attack struggling to contain the batting lineup. Kishan's performance has renewed discussions about his potential return to India's Test team.
