Shreyas Iyer, captain of India D, dismissed India A's Mayank Agarwal on his first ball in almost six years during the Duleep Trophy match, but faced criticism for his own performance. Iyer, who was recently omitted from India's Test squad against Bangladesh, wore sunglasses while batting and was dismissed for a duck by Khaleel Ahmed, leading to mixed reactions on social media. Despite Iyer's struggles, India A dominated the match with significant contributions from Mayank Agarwal and Pratham Singh, who scored half-centuries, and notable performances by bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Aaqib Khan. India A's first innings saw a decent total of 290, supported by a crucial partnership between Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian. The match has set up a challenging task for India D, who are trailing significantly.
