Provided you have located the correct table you can use select_one and the css selector tbody td:last-child > .Number. tbody will restrict to the table body rows, select_one with td:last-child will grab the first last column, then the > .Number will grab the direct child span. You could of course, combine and shorten the selector list rather than separately grabbing table, however, I was unsure if you would do other things with the table.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
import requests
r = requests.get('https://ticker.finology.in/company/idea', headers = {'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
table = soup.select_one('.card:has(> #mainContent_hfSizeForQuarter) table')
table.select_one('tbody td:last-child > .Number').text.strip()
