The prestigious Duleep Trophy 2024 continues with Team C and Team D taking on each other with the game beginning on Thursday, September 05, at the Rural Development Trust Stadium, Anantapur, in Andhra Pradesh.
This year, the tournament will feature a new format, shifting from the traditional zonal structure to a more competitive four-team setup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced this change to enhance the level of competition. This edition is particularly crucial as it serves as a preparatory platform for Indian cricketers eyeing spots in the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh.
The teams will compete in a round-robin format, with the top team securing the championship. Star players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Sai Sudharsan, and Axar Patel will be in action, while injuries have sidelined Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. On the same day, Shubman Gill's Team A will face Abhimanyu Easwaran's Team B in Bengaluru.
Interestingly, senior players like, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravi Ashwin have been exempted from the competition to manage their workload, citing India's packed calendar. However, pacer Mohammed Shami who was expected to take part in the event is still recuperating from his ankle surgery at the National Cricket Academy.

Pitch Report
The track at the Rural Development Trust Stadium is favourable to bowlers and it is considered one of the better pitches for pacers in India. However, the spinners will have some support from the surface. The batters will need to be careful while scoring runs and need to be patient and build the innings slowly.
