BCCI CoE Excellence Ground: Central Zone faced some nervy moments before sealing a six-wicket victory in the final of the 2025/26 Duleep Trophy against South Zone on day five at the BCCI CoE Excellence Ground 1 on Monday.

In their chase of 65, opener Akshay Wadkar remained unbeaten on 19 and maintained composure while wickets fell on the other hand, but South Zone just did not have enough runs on the board to allow their bowlers a chance to defend the total.

Ankit Sharma and Gurjapneet Singh claimed two wickets apiece, with the former claiming the prized scalp of Central Zone captain Rajat Patidar.
