The Duleep Trophy, a prestigious domestic red-ball tournament in India, is set to commence its first round on September 5th, 2024, with two exciting matchups.
India A vs India B: A Clash of the Titans
The first encounter pits India A against India B at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This match promises to be a thrilling affair as it features a star-studded lineup of national-team regulars, including Shubman Gill, K.L. Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. These top-tier players will be vying for a spot in the national team, making this match a battleground for both individual and team glory.
India C vs India D: Shreyas Iyer’s Redemption
The second match, taking place at the Rural Trust Development Stadium in Anantapur, sees India C facing off against India D. This match holds particular significance for Shreyas Iyer, who leads India D. Iyer is looking to make a strong comeback in red-ball cricket after being sidelined from the Indian Test team. He last represented India in February and was omitted from the BCCI central contract list. This Duleep Trophy presents an opportunity for Iyer to showcase his skills and potentially earn a recall to the national team.
