Duleep final: Karun Nair leaves South Zone squad, puts spotlight on selection
Nair's reply to a social-media post was at odds with South coach Vikram Verma's claim that he left for personal reasons
Ishan Kishan delivered a remarkable batting performance in the Duleep Trophy final, scoring 270 runs for East Zone against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The humid conditions did not deter Kishan, who batted for 522 minutes and faced 334 balls over nearly two days. His innings was a standout feature of East Zone's dominant batting display, which saw the team post a massive 708 runs.
Kishan's performance was particularly impressive considering he came close to joining a select group of batters who have scored triple centuries in the tournament. South Zone's bowlers struggled to trouble the East Zone batters, with Kishan and Kumar Kushagra providing strong support.
