Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan Prepare for Quick Switch from Duleep Trophy to T20I Series
Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan, captains of South and East Zone respectively, face the challenge of quickly transitioning from the five-day Duleep Trophy final to India's T20I series against Afghanistan starting September 13. Both acknowledge the difficulty of switching formats within a few days but emphasize their professional responsibility to adapt. They expect two days of practice before the T20Is and rely on their experience. Meanwhile, the Duleep final features a competitive contest, including facing bowler Mohammed Shami, who aims to return to international cricket.
