In the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone, East Zone's skipper Ishan Kishan scored 270 runs in 334 balls. His knock was laced with 30 boundaries and seven maximums

With this, the left-handed batsman scripted history as he became only the third East Zone batsman to score a double-century in Duleep Trophy history, joining Arun Lal and Saba Karim

Lal holds the highest score among the trio, having smashed 287 against West Zone in 1986, besides scoring 214 against Central Zone in the same year. Saba Karim, meanwhile, remained unbeaten on 200 against West Zone in 1995

He brought up his maiden Duleep Trophy double century off 270 balls and also crossed the 4000-run mark in first-class cricket

Kishan also became the first East Zone captain-wicketkeeper to score a double ton in the Duleep Trophy final, according to an Instagram post by Star Sports India. Overall, Kishan became the seventh batsman to score a double century in the Duleep Trophy final
