Central Zone clinched their seventh Duleep Trophy title, their first in 11 years, after a dramatic victory over South Zone. Despite a shaky chase of 65, Yash Rathod’s winning shot sealed the win. Central’s strong first-innings performance and individual brilliance throughout the tournament, led by Rajat Patidar and Saransh Jain, proved decisive.
