Indian star opener, Ishan Kishan is likely to miss the first game of the Duleep Trophy 2024 beginning in Anantapur on Thursday (September 5). 

According to Cricbuzz, wicketkeeper-batter part of Shreyas Iyer's India D, has been suffering from an injury issue and therefore may not take part in the match. Hence, Sanju Samson, who was not announced in any of the squads initially will likely be named as the replacement of Kishan.



Whether he plays the remaining part of the four-day tournament, however, isn't certain. This is simply due to the reason that selections for the Indian Team for the upcoming Bangladesh Tests later this month for a two-Test series will be picked and he might just be selected.

Thus, he might be back for the latter half of the six-game competition. Each team is allotted three games with Team D set to compete against Team A in Anantapur on September 12.

Ishan Kishan At Buchi Babu Tournament

A pre-season red-ball tournament, the Buchi Babu, which started in August, had seen Ishan Kishan lead the Jharkhand side. Where he made a remarkable return, as he slammed a century and also rolled his arm.

But Kishan, too, is expected to join India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav on the sidelines, as he perhaps is injured as well. Yadav had picked up a hand injury during the Buchi Babu tournament and is undergoing treatment at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
