Ishan Kishan scores 270 in the Duleep Trophy final

East Zone captain Ishan Kishan recorded 270 runs in the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone. The performance marks a resurgence for the batter, who regained his position in India's white-ball squads following a stint in domestic cricket after losing his BCCI central contract. Kishan credited his high score to a simplified mental approach that prioritizes reacting to the ball over long-term expectations or overthinking. He prepared for the match by focusing on red-ball training at the BCCI Centre of Excellence to adjust from his recent T20 appearances. The captain emphasized the importance of building partnerships and pacing his innings during the final. He stated that he views his time in domestic cricket as a growth period that allowed him to refine his game.
