Duleep Trophy: Saransh And Kartikeya Run Through South Zone, Put Central Zone In Driver’s Seat
BCCI CoE Ground: Saransh Jain and Kumar Kartikeya produced an excellent spin bowling masterclass to put Central Zone in command on the opening day of the 2025/26 Duleep Trophy final at the BCCI CoE Ground 1 on Thursday.
On a surface offering grip and bounce, Jain claimed his second successive five-wicket haul through figures of 5-49, while Kartikeya picked 4-53 as the duo bowled out South Zone for 149 in 63 overs.
In reply, Central Zone openers Danish Malewar and Akshay Wadkar negotiated the new ball with composure to reach 50/0 in 19 overs before bad light brought early stumps, with the Rajat Patidar-led side trailing by 99 runs.
