The Duleep Trophy 2024 is set to witness a fierce contest as Ruturaj Gaikwad's India C locks horns with Shreyas Iyer's India D in Match 2 of the tournament at the RDT Stadium in Anantapur. 

In the latest development, Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and opted to field first. It is worth mentioning that with a mix of seasoned campaigners and rising stars, both teams will be looking to make a statement in this early fixture. 

The Indian selectors are expected to keep a close eye on the tournament and will pick the squad for the upcoming Test series based on the performance of the players.  

Watch- Take A Look At The Toss

India C, led by opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, is a well-balanced squad with a mix of experienced players and emerging talents. 

Despite the absence of veteran batter Suryakumar Yadav due to a hand injury, India C’s top order, featuring stars like Baba Indrajith and Sai Sudharsan, is expected to provide strong performances. 

On the other hand, India D, captained by Shreyas Iyer will aim to return to the national side after a period of suspension and will lead a team that has been affected by a late injury setback. 

Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the opening game due to a hamstring issue, with Sanju Samson stepping in as his replacement. 

Despite these setbacks, India D remains strong on paper, with Iyer and Devdutt Padikkal expected to drive the batting, and bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana leading the bowling unit.
