Shubman Gill's India A will collide against Abhimanyu Easwaran's India B in the opening fixture of the Duleep Trophy 2024 contest at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

The first match of the competition takes place on September 5, Thursday, and it provides a great opportunity for the Test bound players to get back into the rhythm ahead of the series against Bangladesh.

The tournament is held in a new way, with Zonal Systems getting replaced with Round-Robin format, and there would be no knockout matches taking place.

A mouth-watering contest will open the proceedings, and both India A and India B will be confident of getting the win. In our previous article, we discussed about India A's probable XI, and now, we will talk about the possible combination of India B.

Aggressive top-6 sets the tone for India B

The team is blessed to have excellent batting options in the top-6. Abhimanyu Easwaran, the captain of the side will open alongside India's new poster boy, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal will most likely play the solitary game in the tournament and it will provide him a great chance to test his skills.

The next 4 batters in the lineup is a dream for many teams. Sarfaraz Khan is likely to occupy the number 3 spot, with comeback man, Rishabh Pant keeping the wickets at number 4. Sarfaraz' younger brother, Musheer Khan will bat at number 5, and the emerging player of IPL 2024, Nitish Kumar Reddy will showcase his all-round skills at number 6.

Washington Sundar is likely to play at number 7, followed by another spin bowling option in R Sai Kishore. Navdeep Saini, Yash Dayal and Mukesh Kumar will form a brilliant triplet of pace bowling to round off the playing XI.
