    BCCI COE Ground: Ruturaj Gaikwad produced a batting masterclass to rescue West Zone from early trouble and put them in control at stumps on day one of 2025/26 Duleep Trophy semi-final against Central Zone at the BCCI COE Ground 2 on Thursday.

    Walking in at 10/2 with fast bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Deepak Chahar making the ball talk, Gaikwad dug in before opening up once conditions eased to hit a humungous 184 off 206 balls, laced with 25 fours and a six.

    He found support first from Aarya Desai (39) in a partnership of 82 runs for the third wicket and later from Tanush Kotian, with whom he shared a crucial 148-run stand for the sixth wicket. At stumps, Kotian was unbeaten on 65 and Shardul Thakur remained 24 not out, with West Zone firmly placed to build further on day two’s play.
