In a masterclass of batting, Ishan Kishan's record-shattering innings of 270 runs has catapulted East Zone to an overwhelming advantage in the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone. His exceptional performance, sprinkled with 30 fours and seven sixes, registered his name among the elite, drawing accolades from former cricketer Yuvraj Singh.

Kishan's epic knock, which came off 334 balls, helped East Zone amass a massive total of 708 runs.
