East Zone has finally reclaimed the Duleep Trophy, crushing their 13-year curse! Captain Ishan Kishan led a historic campaign, smashing a colossal 270 in the final to secure a dominant first-innings lead. With a massive 372-run cushion, they dismantled South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This elite performance cements their legacy as the new titans of Indian domestic cricket. Victory is theirs!
