On his debut in the Duleep Trophy, Shikhar Mohan impressively scored eighty-five runs for East Zone. He acknowledged the critical role of captain Ishan Kishan, whose consistent guidance proved invaluable during their partnership. After a shaky start with early dismissals, Mohan’s solid Ranji Trophy form and T20 expertise empowered him to withstand the mounting pressure, leading East Zone to a formidable total by day’s end.
