Duleep Trophy Final Round Begins

The final round of the 2024 Duleep Trophy is set to commence on September 19, featuring India A against India C and India B facing India D at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur. Currently, India C leads the points table with nine points, followed by India B with seven and India A with six, while India D is yet to score. Key players to watch include Shreyas Iyer from India D, who aims to reclaim his form after being omitted from the Bangladesh series, and Ishan Kishan from India C, who recently impressed with a century. Additionally, Tilak Varma suffered a disappointing dismissal for India A, scoring only five runs before being run out in a freak incident. The matches are crucial for players looking to strengthen their cases for future selections in the national team. The tournament format this year does not include knockout games, focusing on cumulative points to determine the winner.
