Duleep Trophy: Rathod’s 194 Puts Central Zone On Top Despite South’s Positive Reply
Yash Rathod: Yash Rathod fell agonisingly short of his maiden first-class double century, but his career-best 194 put Central Zone firmly in charge against South Zone on Day Three of the 2025-26 Duleep Trophy final at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on Saturday.
Central, who resumed day three on 384 for 5 with a lead of 235, went on to post 511 in 145.1 overs, stretching their advantage to 362. At stumps, South Zone were 129 for 2, still trailing by 233 runs.
Rathod, who began the day unbeaten, looked assured early on, clipping Gurjapneet Singh through midwicket to move closer to 150, which he reached once the lead crossed 250.
