He tried to hit another six over the leg side, and the ball went high in the air as he miscued the lofted shot. The fielder, captain of Central Zone, Rajat Patidar, covered quite some ground in order to take a well-judged catch. He had to dive to make sure he completed the catch.

Sooryavanshi was troubled by Yash Thakur, who bowled brilliantly for Central Zone. Thakur peppered Sooryavanshi with short balls, where the teenager tried to hit big shots and dominate. He was also troubled outside the off-stump as well, as Thakur got the ball to seam and move off the pitch.

With Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scoring 92 and Abhimanyu Easwaran scoring 69, East Zone also responded with 266 runs. In order to force East Zone to fight hard for the goal, Central Zone needed to produce a sizable score in order to turn the game into a match.
