Ishan Kishan slams 200, guides East Zone to big total in Duleep Trophy final

Ishan Kishan slams 200, guides East Zone to big total in Duleep Trophy final

Ishan Kishan, the captain of the East Zone cricket team, took a painful blow to the box during the Duleep Trophy final against the South Zone team. The incident occurred when Nidheesh delivered a skiddy back-of-a-length delivery that struck Kishan on middle and off stump. Despite the pain, Kishan remained in good spirits as he continued batting.

He later smashed a stunning double century, which was his maiden double century in First Class cricket. The left-hander's innings also helped his team push past the 500-run mark. Kishan's performance in the match is a strong statement for the selectors ahead of their upcoming tour of New Zealand.
