Soon after the second session commenced, the heavens opened up which forced the play to come to an abrupt halt. The game later got underway when the weather cleared and this time around, luck seemed to have favored the South Zone.

Right after the restart, South Zone were rewarded with a flurry of wickets. Following the dismissal of Harvik Desai, everything went downhill for West Zone. They slipped from 97/1 to 124/7 in just 13 overs. Vidwath Kaverappa and Vijaykumar Vyshak tightened the screws around South Zone batters.

Kaverappa looked in devastating form as he picked up 4/44 to push West Zone on the backfoot. He was well supported by Vyshak, who registered figures of 2/29 before bad light compelled match officials to call for early stumps.

With that, let us take a look at the runs and wickets table post after the Day 2 of the 2023 Duleep Trophy Final.
