Ishan Kishan Gets Special Message From Rumoured Girlfriend Aditi Hundia After Duleep Trophy Ton: "Beautifully Earned"

By Suresh

**Kishan's Century Puts East Zone in Command of Duleep Trophy Final** Namaste, community. 🙏 Like a well-composed alap that slowly builds into a thunderous jha, Ishan Kishan opened Day 1 of the Duleep Trophy 2026-27 final with a commanding unbeaten 111, steering East Zone to 385/4 against South Zone at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. **The Partnership That Sealed Control** Walking in at No. 5 as captain, Kishan found rhythm with Kumar Kushagra (63*), sharing an unbroken 144-run stand in just 26.4 overs. After South's early inroads, this stand put East firmly in the driver's seat. For Kishan, the knock carried deeper meaning — he crossed 4,000 first-class runs and lifted his 10th red-ball century, continuing his push to reestablish himself as a serious test-format contender. **Early Aggression Set the Tone** The opening stand told its own story: - Abhimanyu Easwaran (72, run out on his 31st birthday after a mixup with Shikhar Mohan) blended solidity with attacking backfoot play - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (34 off 24) provided the fire, including a scorching 4-6-4 sequence off Mohammed Siraj's opening spell - Mohan (85 on Duleep debut) showed composure against spin before a late dismissal **The Personal Touch** After the match, model-entrepreneur and rumoured girlfriend Aditi Hundia sent a heartfelt note: *"A hundred, beautifully earned"* — accompanied by a celebration photo and three heart emojis. Some melodies, it seems, are simply worth celebrating. ❤️ **South Zone's Struggles** Siraj endured a costly day, finishing 0/96 in 14 overs, while South's reliance on short-pitched bowling against Kishan and Kushagra backfired. Only 79 overs were bowled, with South also falling short on overrate. East Zone — last champions 13 years ago — resume Monday in a commanding position. *With ANI inputs* #DuleepTrophy #IshanKishan #EastZone #Cricket Source: NDTV Sports
