Curtains fall on the Duleep Trophy - And now, the moment we've all been waiting for - Ishan Kishan steps up to collect the Duleep Trophy and is soon joined by his teammates as they lift the silverware together. The entire East Zone squad then gathers behind the 'Champions' banner for a few memorable pictures, bringing the curtain down on a memorable tournament. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage of the Duleep Trophy, but the domestic cricketing action doesn't stop here. Next up is the Irani Trophy 2026/27, with Jammu and Kashmir taking on the Rest of India in Srinagar from October 1 to 5. The action gets underway at 4 am GMT (9.30 am IST), but make sure to join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
The victorious skipper of East Zone - Ishan Kishan says the title was a collective effort, with everyone looking after each other being the most important aspect for him. He feels he had been a good leader but insists the journey does not end here, with the team needing to keep improving across departments and rectify mistakes, particularly in the field. Kishan says he became calmer and more aware of situations after his period away from the Indian team, focusing on understanding what was important, reading the game better and helping his teammates avoid getting into the zone he had experienced. He feels that transformation has made him calmer, hungrier and more determined to perform for the team and help them win. Kishan adds, with a cheeky smile, that his playful side will remain until he turns 90.
The South Zone players are now collecting their runners-up medals, bringing the presentation ceremony into full swing. Up next, it's time for the champions - the East Zone players will come forward to receive their winners' medals and celebrate their hard-earned triumph.
The captain of South Zone - Tilak Varma says they are disappointed with the result but have plenty of learnings from the game. He admits they could have done better on the opening day and says their bowling was not at its best, while giving credit to East Zone's batters for taking the game away after scoring 708. Varma says they tried to bat for three days and give themselves a chance of saving the game, believing they could have potentially scored 700 themselves had they managed to stay out there. However, he accepts that East Zone had totally outplayed them.
Presentation Time...
The finishing touches - With victory already all but assured, East Zone spent the final day simply extending their innings, ensuring the draw, and with it, the title was locked in beyond doubt. Md Kounain Qureshi anchored the effort with an unbeaten 116 off 190 balls, while Anukul Roy chipped in a brisk 64 before falling to MD Nidheesh, the pair adding 150 for the innings' key partnership. With the lead stretched to an insurmountable margin, East Zone eventually called it a day and declared, sealing the draw. A special mention to Mohammed Siraj, who bowled his heart out on the final day without much reward, but it was good to see South Zone bowlers not throwing in the towel till the end.
East Zone tightened the screw - South Zone's resistance ended in the morning session as they folded for 336, Tilak Varma left agonizingly stranded on 99, having battled almost the entire innings alone. East Zone, sensing the kill, came out and batted again with intent - Kishan added a rapid 80 to his first-innings double-century, while Shikhar Mohan chipped in with 52, before ending the day 212/5, a staggering 584 runs ahead and firmly on the cusp of the title.
South Zone fight an uphill battle - With a mountain to chase down, South Zone's reply got off to a rocky start against a relentless East Zone attack led by veteran Mohammad Shami, who exploited reverse swing on a wearing pitch. Devdutt Padikkal, fresh off two Test centuries against Sri Lanka, provided the only real fightback with a well-made 62 before holing out frustratingly. Captain Tilak Varma then took over as the lone bright spot, anchoring the innings with an unbeaten fifty. South Zone closed the day at 242/6, still miles adrift of East Zone's total.
Kishan's double ton powers East to 708 - Ishan Kishan and Kumar Kushagra picked up right where they left off, stitching together a mammoth 230-run stand that buried South Zone's hopes of a quick comeback. Kushagra brought up his maiden Duleep Trophy hundred off 128 balls before falling for 101. Kishan kept going, turning his overnight century into a monumental 270 - the highest individual score by a wicketkeeper-batter in the tournament's history. East Zone were eventually bowled out for a colossal 708 in 163 overs, a total built almost entirely around that pair.
PLAYER OF THE SERIES - The captain of South Zone, Tilak Varma, wins this award. He scored 266 runs in 3 innings, including scores of 99, 116*, and 51*.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Undoubtedly, it goes to the East Zone skipper Ishan Kishan for his magnificent knocks of 270 off 334 and 80 off 98 in this final.
A solid start at Chepauk - East Zone won the toss and chose to bat first at Chepauk, and immediately made themselves at home. Openers Abhimanyu Easwaran and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi put on a fine 100-run stand before Ishan Kishan took center stage. Kishan struck an unbeaten 111 by stumps, with Kumar Kushagra keeping him company on 63*, as East Zone closed the day in firm control at 385/4.
Back on top after 13 years - East Zone have etched their name on the trophy for the third time, ending a 13-year wait after previously winning back-to-back titles. Ishan Kishan remains unbeaten as a skipper in domestic cricket, leading a hugely talented side from the front and making the most significant contribution to their title triumph.
East Zone crowned champions - The camera pans to Ishan Kishan, the skipper of East Zone, who looks animated, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi right behind him. And there it is - the declaration! That also brings this game to an end in a draw, but East Zone are crowned Duleep Trophy 2026/27 champions on the strength of their first-innings lead. The entire East Zone squad floods onto the field and gathers in a huddle as the celebrations begin, led by Kishan, who is showing off some of his dance moves! The newly crowned champions then set off on a victory lap, acknowledging the fans who turned up to witness their triumph.

MD Nidheesh To Anukul Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! MD Nidheesh strikes right away on his return to the attack. He hits the deck hard and in the channel outside off, angles it in but straightens off the deck. Anukul Roy has a poke at it away from his body and only manages to get an outside edge. It flies to the right of first slip, almost goes behind him, but Devdutt Padikkal shows good reflexes to dive to his right to take a sharp catch. East Zone are 388/7, leading by 760 runs.

Nice and full, outside off, Qureshi drives it to cover. A misfield allows the batters to collect two runs. What a magnificent knock this has been from him. He takes off his helmet to soak in the applause.
The second new ball has been taken by South Zone. Chama Milind comes into the attack now.

Welcome back for the second session of Day 5. The umpires and the players are out in the middle again. Anukul Roy and Md Kounain Qureshi will resume their innings. Shreyas Gopal will start with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
The trophy in sight - From there, it was the Md Kounain Quraishi and Anukul Roy show. Quraishi batted with immense composure to notch up his maiden First-Class half-century, and together the pair piled on an unbeaten 83-run stand. By the time the umpires called for lunch, East Zone had cruised to 321 for 6, pushing their overall lead to an astronomical 693 runs. With only two sessions left, East Zone have one hand firmly on the Duleep Trophy. Join us at 7.10 am GMT (12.40 pm IST) after the Lunch Break.
Lunch, Day 4 - 6.30 am GMT (12 pm IST) - East Zone have tightened their grip on the final, entering the lunch break with an advantage of 693 runs. They are now just two sessions away from being crowned as the champions. Starting at 212 for 5, they never took their foot off the pedal. Even after Chama Milind removed Kumar Kushagra just four runs short of a well-deserved fifty, there was simply no respite for South Zone. To rub salt into the wound, South Zone were hit with a five-run penalty for a sluggish over-rate, summing up a thoroughly frustrating morning with the ball.

FOUR! That's a poor delivery. Slightly down the leg side, Md Kounain Qureshi uses the pace of the ball and tickles it through fine leg for a boundary.
DRINKS! You can say that East Zone have both hands on the trophy now, extending their lead to a mammoth 626 runs. The only question is that, whether they will go for the outright win or not. However, looking at their approach, it does not look likely at the moment. South Zone have bowled well in this session, but it's all a little too late for them, and the only positive for them will be if they manage to bowl their opposition out here.

We are all set to begin the final day! The two umpires head out to the middle. South Zone players are in a huddle where Tilak Varma is giving them a pep talk before they take the field. Md Kounain Qureshi and Kumar Kushagra are the two overnight batters. Chama Milind will start proceedings. Here we go...
PITCH REPORT - WV Raman is pitchside. He says that the weather is gloomy in Chennai, much like the mood in South Zone. Chetan Sharma joins him and rates the pitch 5 out of 10, as he wants a wicket that produces a result. Adds that the pitch is still good for batting, but it is definitely helpful for the spinners. Says that he has been most impressed by Mohammad Shami on a pitch that does not have much for the seamers.
An intense battle to conclude the game - The fifth-day track will offer unpredictable bounce and sharp turn from the rough, making every over an absolute trial by fire for the batters. East Zone have the luxury of setting attacking catchers all around the bat from ball one, so the psychological pressure will be relentless. Can South Zone produce a heroic rearguard fight, or will East Zone blow them away to cap off a clinical performance. The morning session gets underway in just a moment.
South Zone facing a test of grit - For South Zone, today is all about character, patience, and pure survival. Their biggest takeaway from the first innings collapse was the painful isolation of Tilak Varma, who ran out of partners on 99. The top-order batters must step up this time around, leave the ball well outside off stump, and refuse to gift away their wickets. Grinding out long defensive partnerships and occupying the crease will be their only path to escaping with a draw.
East Zone hunting an outright win - East Zone can afford to declare immediately this morning or throw their bats for a handful of overs to stretch the lead further. Their big learning from the second innings was the contrast between an unsteady opening stand and a blazing middle-order show, and they will want that positive mindset to carry directly into their bowling. The pace duo of Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar will look to strike early with the new ball, allowing their spinners to run through the lineup on a deteriorating surface.
Hello and welcome to Day 5 - A very warm welcome to cricket fans as we enter the decisive fifth and final day of this grueling red-ball contest. East Zone are sitting comfortably in the driver seat with a mammoth lead of 584 runs, holding every single ace in their hand. After completely shutting South Zone out of the contest across the last four days, the East side will look to turn their absolute dominance into a memorable victory today.
... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...
One hand on the trophy - After amassing a huge lead, Ishan Kishan opted against the follow on and decide to bat again. Mohammed Siraj showed stark contrast to the first innings and bowled a fine spell as East Zone were reduced to 13/2. Then came the telling stand between Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan. Kishan got out on 80, and Mohan too struck a half century. A flurry of late wickets troubled East Zone for a bit but then Kumar Kushagra and Md Kounain Qureshi showed resilience and took their side to 212/5 at the end of Day 4. South Zone have it all to do and not enough time to do it in. Day 5, which is the final day of this Duleep Trophy Final will begin on Thursday, September 10, at 4 am GMT (9.30 am IST). Be sure to tune in to our build-up as well. Cheers!
Bowlers come good for East Zone - Day 4 began with South Zone looking to fight it out with the bat and eat into East Zone's first innings lead but their innings folded on 336 when skipper Tilak Varma got out agonizingly on 99. Md Kounain Qureshi picked him up and ended with a couple of wickets, rounding off a pretty solid outing with the ball for East Zone.
11.33 am GMT (5.03 pm IST) - STUMPS, DAY 4 - East Zone end Day 4 with a commanding second innings lead of 584 runs, and with one day left in this final, they have simply out batted their opponents. For South Zone, it will be about getting some teeth back in the contest as they look to bowl out East Zone and make them work in the field on the final day.

DRINKS! East Zone just keep taking this game far, far away from South Zone. They have extended their lead to a massive 521 runs, and with 7 wickets still in hand, that is only going to get bigger and bigger. Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly but lost his patience and missed out on a hundred, but debutant Shikhar Mohan has shown his talent again and is nearing another fifty. South Zone have been better with the ball, but still opportunities have been few and far between, and all they can do is hope that they can make some damage before the end of day's play.

Shreyas Gopal To Shikhar Mohan
A big, big appeal from behind the stumps for LBW, but it is turned down. It is reviewed by South Zone. Shreyas Gopal bowls this one on a nagging length around off, getting the ball to turn in. Shikhar Mohan is a bit tentative to get forward as he looks to block. The ball beats the inside edge and hits Mohan on the front pad. The third umpire has a look at it. There's clearly no bat involved, and it's 'umpire's call' on wickets. So, the on-field decision of Not Out stays.

We are back for the final session on Day 4. The umpires are back out in the middle, and they are calling the players back out on the field. 39 overs remain in the day, and only 2 more hours of play is possible. South Zone's players, with their shoulders drooping, are back out in the middle. The duo of Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan stride out to resume their stay at the crease as well. Tripurana Vijay to continue...
... DAY 4, SESSION 3...
East Zone extend their domination - South Zone started much better with the ball, wth Mohammed Siraj finally finding his rhythm in this final. He removed Abhimanyu Easwaran early on, and in the very next over, Tripurana Vijay accounted for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The ball was spinning off the rough, but other than that, it still looked like a good batting deck. Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan batted positively, using their feet against the spinners and taking the game to the bowlers. The duo added 82 runs together and will look to keep extending the stand, while a comeback for South Zone in this game does not look likely unless something really special happens. Join us at 9.30 am GMT (3 pm IST) for all the action in the final session.
9.11 am GMT (2.41 pm IST) - TEA, DAY 4! Despite losing the openers early on, East Zone have strengthened their grip even more, extending their lead to 467 runs. Once again, it is their skipper, Ishan Kishan, leading the charge, and looking at their intentions, it does not look like they are in any hurry to make South Zone bat again.

Mohammed Siraj To Abhimanyu Easwaran OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mohammed Siraj gets his first wicket in this final. He lands this on a good length and in the channel outside off, gets it to straighten. Abhimanyu Easwaran gets a bit squared up and tries to push it away from his body. It takes the outside edge and flies towards first slip, where Devdutt Padikkal takes a sharp, low catch just above the ground, with the ball dying on him. A rare failure for Easwaran. East Zone are 13/1, leading by 385 runs.
Some refreshments for the batters while the physio is attending to Mohammed Siraj. All good to resume.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lunges out to defend but plays completely down the wrong line, getting hit on the front pad. It pops out to first slip, who grabs it. South Zone take the review here. The replay confirms no bat involved but Ball Tracking shows it is clipping the leg stump on umpire's call. The on-field call of Not Out stands.
