Ishan Kishan now collects the Duleep Trophy and heads towards his teammates for the official photo-op!
Ishan Kishan (East Zone Captain, Player of the Match): [difference between leading state and zone] "It's just about playing as one unit. We played as a group and everyone took care of each other.
[on his captaincy] I think I've been a good leader. The journey doesn't end here. There are always some mistakes happening. You have to get better day by day.
[on the transformation] It was about being more calm and into the game, how aware you are and how are you reading situations. You have to help other players to not let them get in that zone. More hunger is there, you need to make your team win and that is what has changed in me."

Tilak Varma (South Zone Captain): [on the game] "It is disappointing for us. Lot of learnings from this game, we will come back stronger.
[on the phases where they could have done better] The first day but they sealed the game when they scored 700. Credit goes to their batters. We haven't bowled that great.
[on the big total] We were just thinking to bat for the next 3 days. We could have scored 700. We tried our best but credit to East Zone for outplaying us."
