Duleep Trophy 2024: Top three performers from Round 1
Abhimanyu Easwaran-led India B beat Shubman Gill's India A in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad's India C got the better of Shreyas Iyer-led India D in Anantapur.
2. Manav Suthar
India C's left-arm orthodox bowler picked up the solitary wicket of Srikar Bharat in India D's first innings. However, to be fair to him, he got only seven overs to bowl, least out of the bowlers deployed by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.

However, in India D's second essay, Suthar wreaked havoc as he finished with excellent figures of 7/49 in 19.1 overs, also bowling seven maidens. The 22-year-old joined Abishek Porel with the bat in the fourth innings at a critical stage as India C needed 42 runs to get with four wickets in the bank.
Suthar played second fiddle to the Bengal wicketkeeper and eventually finished unbeaten on 19 off 43 balls to help his team get over the line.
