The Duleep Trophy 2026-27 semifinals are progressing into their second day, with Central Zone and South Zone aiming for decisive advantages. Central Zone, the current titleholders, directly qualified for this stage and are competing against East Zone. East Zone secured their semifinal spot with an emphatic innings-and-210-run victory over North East Zone.
Meanwhile, South Zone is set to face North Zone, who are buoyed by their recent 52-run triumph in the quarterfinals against West Zone. A notable figure in the East Zone squad is 15-year-old vice-captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Despite modest first-class statistics, his potential is generating considerable interest. He briefly captained the side on the first day when Ishan Kishan stepped off the field.
