Star Studded Lineups Minus the Big Three

Despite the absence of Rohit, Kohli, and Bumrah, the Duleep Trophy promises to be an exciting tournament with a mix of established stars and emerging talents. Four captains will lead the respective teams: Shubman Gill (Team A), Abhimanyu Easwaran (Team B), Ruturaj Gaikwad (Team C), and Shreyas Iyer (Team D).

The squads boast names like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ishan Kishan, ensuring that the competition remains fierce and entertaining. The Duleep Trophy, scheduled from September 5 to September 8, will be held across venues in Anantapur and Bengaluru.

Fresh Faces and Emerging Talent

The selectors have infused fresh blood into the tournament, offering a platform for young guns like Musheer Khan, Kumar Kushagra, and Vidwath Kaverappa to showcase their skills. Players like Shivam Dube, who made a successful return to red ball cricket last season, and all rounders like Tanush Kotian, are being looked at as potential future assets for the national team.

The Duleep Trophy serves as a curtain raiser for India’s domestic red ball season, and performances here could pave the way for future selections. With the upcoming home Tests against Bangladesh and New Zealand, this tournament offers players a chance to stake their claim for a spot in the national Test side.
