Kishan and Tilak Prepare for Quick Switch from Duleep Trophy to Afghanistan T20Is
Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma, captains of East and South Zone respectively, face the challenge of quickly switching from the five-day Duleep Trophy final to India's three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting September 13.

They expect two days of practice before the T20Is and rely on their experience and adaptability to manage the transition effectively.
