Ishan Kishan, fresh from leading the East Zone to victory in the Duleep Trophy 2026/27, engaged in playful banter with rising star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The two discussed their contributions to the successful Decision Review System (DRS) calls during the final match against South Zone. Their light-hearted exchange highlighted the camaraderie and team spirit following the championship win.
Kishan, who was named Player of the Match after scoring over 350 runs across both innings of the final, including hitting 270 in the first innings, playfully said his deputy Sooryavanshi took the spotlight for tactical on-field reviews. “Yeh sab review mein credit le hi liya hai har jagah. Bhale main lene waala tha review, but aake mast bol deta tha main aapke paas aa jaata hu. Phir toh internet will be like: Vaibhav! My goodness! Vaibhav is the one! Toh bohot acche se isne woh kaarya nibhaya hai.(I am very happy (He has taken all the credit for the review everywhere. Even though I was about to take the review, he would come and say it so confidently, ‘I’ll come to you’.
Then the internet will be like: Vaibhav!),” Kishan said in a video posted on BCCI domestic social media accounts on Friday.
Because more than a very good player, he’s a very nice boy who takes care of each and every one in the team, whether it’s a junior player or senior, but it’s very good to have him in the team. Kishan signed off by saying, “The most important thing is to enjoy. “Haan, that was Vaibhav himself! Yes. Future captain, maybe? Let’s see how it goes. “I think the match changed from there and as a captain, a lot of people have been watching and playing under him for a long time. It was a lot of fun to play in his captaincy. We enjoyed a lot. The result is not in our hands, but to enjoy as a team is very important. Sorry, the result is in our hands right now, but it’s very important to enjoy.”
