Desk. Ishan Kishan is looking in tremendous form at the moment. While playing against South Zone in the final of Duleep Trophy, he not only scored a double century in the first innings, he also batted brilliantly in the second innings. At one time it seemed that he would score another century, but he missed it, but he has definitely made a big record in his name. He has now broken a record that was almost 16 years old.
In the final of Duleep Trophy, Ishan Kishan played a tremendous inning of 270 runs in the first innings. Thanks to this inning, the East Zone team made a big score of 708 runs. In response to this, South Zone's first innings was limited to 336 runs only. Although Ishan could have given follow-on to the South Zone if he wanted, but he himself decided to bat. Vaibhav Suryavanshi got out early in the second innings, but as soon as Ishan Kishan came, the match came to life again. He completed his half-century with speed and then moved towards a century. However, he was out before reaching there.
In the second innings, Ishan Kishan managed to score 80 runs. He faced 98 balls and during this he hit three sixes along with nine fours. With 270 runs in the first innings and 80 runs in the second, Ishaan has scored 350 runs in this match. Now he has become the batsman who scored the most runs in the final of Duleep Trophy. Here we are talking about combining the scores of both the innings. Earlier, the record of scoring most runs in the final was in the name of Dinesh Karthik. Dinesh Karthik, playing for South Zone in 2010, scored 333 runs against West Zone. He scored 183 runs in the first innings of the match and then when he came in the second innings, he scored 150 runs. Now after almost 16 years, Ishaan has broken Dinesh's record. The interesting thing is that both wicket keepers are batsmen.
East Zone had taken the lead on the basis of first innings, now its lead is more than 500 runs. That means victory is within the grasp of East Zone. Currently the fourth day of play is going on. East Zone will try to win the match and win the trophy, but even if the match is a draw, East Zone will be declared the winner on the basis of first innings. Shikhar Mohan has also scored a half-century in the second innings.
