The Duleep Trophy 2025 Final at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground, Bengaluru, between South Zone and Central Zone served up one of the match's most cherishable moments. In the 48.2 over, spinner Saransh delivered a lovely ball that turned just enough to catch the outside edge of Salman Nizar's bat. Subsequent action was pure brilliance in the field. Rajat Patidar, standing in the slips, demonstrated great athleticism and reflexes. He dived full length to his right and took a breathtaking catch that left fans and teammates awed. The commitment, anticipation, and timing demonstrated by Patidar made the wicket a special one in the intense final. Such situations highlight the importance of fielding in a turn-around of games, particularly in a high-profile game like the Duleep Trophy final. Patidar's catch not only boosted Central Zone's morale but also demonstrated his trustworthiness as an all-round cricketer, who can contribute with both his bat and his fielding.

It was otherwise a day thoroughly one-sided in favor of Central Zone. Having won the toss, they took the most out of the conditions by reducing South Zone for a paltry 149 runs. It was the spinners who did the bulk of the work as Saransh Jain took a magnificent five-wicket haul, ably supported by Kumar Kartikeya with four wickets. South Zone batters were all at sea in challenging conditions and offered little resistance. In response, Central Zone's openers played with patience and poise, posting 50 unbeaten runs to reduce the deficit to 99. Having a solid foundation already in place, Central Zone will try to build further on Day 2, whereas South Zone need to strike early to remain in the competition.
