Duleep Trophy: On Sunday, West Zone trounced South Zone by 294 runs in the Duleep Trophy final because they were simply at their best. The star of the event was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a double century for the West Zone and contributed to Ajinkya Rahane’s team set a lofty goal for the South Zone. On the final day of the competition, Jaiswal attracted attention for all the wrong reasons when he was seen arguing verbally with T Ravi Teja of the South Zone.
On the penultimate day of the match, Rahane opted to send the child off for a few overs after unsuccessfully trying to control him a few times.
Rahane opened up about the situation following the game and said: “You must adhere to the rules and show respect for the umpires, your rivals, and the game. Respect for your rivals, the umpires, and the match officials should never be compromised. If not, you must leave the field. I live by that. You must therefore respond in a particular way to such events.”
Drama in the middle of the Duleep Trophy final on the fifth and final day was caused by Rahane’s removal of Jaiswal from the field for disciplinary reasons. The entire incident took place while Jaiswal was hitting South Zone batter T Ravi Teja as per usual. Both players persisted in making fun of one another until the umpires finally chose to speak with Rahane.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Teja had a conversation during the 50th over of the last innings. Rahane moved swiftly to calm things down. The seasoned footballer could be seen speaking with Jaiswal.
However, Jaiswal continued to pick on Teja, thus Rahane made the decision to expel him. Jaiswal was spotted walking away from the field while muttering to himself.
In the 65th over of the innings, Jaiswal returned to the field. The left-handed hitter had earlier crushed 263 runs off 323 balls to give South Zone a 529-run goal.
In the fourth and final innings, South Zone was completely destroyed for 234 runs, and West Zone, spearheaded by Rahane, went on to win the match by 294 runs.
