Duleep Trophy 2024 IND C Vs IND D: Team Previews
India C
Led by star opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, the India C team is a balanced unit consisting of seasoned campaigners and promising young talents.
However, in a major setback, India C will miss the services of veteran batter Suryakumar Yadav for the opening round as Surya reels from a hand injury. Regardless, India C’s top order is talented enough to cover for Yadav until he heals completely.
South superstars Baba Indrajith and Sai Sudharsan have been in sublime form lately and are likely to translate the same in the longer format.
Additionally, Mayank Markande, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Sandeep Warrier also possess List A experience, which will help Ruturaj make better decisions.
India D
Experienced Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer will lead India D in the upcoming 2024 Duleep Trophy season.
For Iyer, the Duleep Trophy is a path to returning to the national side after being sidelined due to disciplinary actions. However, India D were also impacted by an injury crisis just hours before the contest.
Prominent wicket-keeping batter Ishan Kishan is being ruled out of the opening game due to a hamstring niggle, and Sanju Samson is named an immediate replacement.
Regardless, Team D are still looking very strong on paper. While Iyer and Devdutt Padikkal will lead the offensive charge, Arshdeep Singh and Tushar Deshpande are expected to deliver with the ball and will contain India C’s experienced batters.

Duleep Trophy 2024 IND C Vs IND D: Anantapur Pitch Report
The pitch at the RDT Stadium in Anantapur is generally considered a balanced surface. But for the 2024 Duleep Trophy tournament, the curators have tried to replicate Australia-like conditions, meaning the fast bowlers are in for a treat. However, the humid weather will still dry out the wicket. It can break up in the latter half of the game, thus bringing spinners into play more effectively. As per standard practice, it is generally advisable for teams to bat first upon winning the toss.
