Duleep Trophy 2024: 3 Players to Watch Out for in Round Two
India A will be up against India D; whereas India B and India C will fight for the second round of Duleep Trophy 2024.
2. Shreyas Iyer
India D captain Shreyas Iyer flopped in the first innings against India C but hit a cracking half-century in the following innings. He looked in good touch but will have to contribute more to get back into India’s scheme of things. Given that he has been made the captain, BCCI selectors are keeping a close eye on his development, as Shreyas is regarded as one of the better players of spin in the country.
The 29-year-old played 73 first class matches in his career and has scored 5727 runs at an average of 48.53. He was a regular in the Test team at one point, but the cricketer flopped in the South Africa series earlier in the year and also in the first two matches against England and after which, he was dropped from the squad.

He was also removed from BCCI’s central contract for not playing in the Ranji Trophy semi-final. The Mumbai batter returned for the final and went on to win the tournament and even the IPL 2024 with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He also made his comeback in the Indian team in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, but his Test comeback completely depends on how he does in the Duleep Trophy and the upcoming edition domestic season for that matter.
