India D News

Opener Pratham Singh’s century in the morning session was followed by Tilak Varma’s ton and Shashwat Rawat’s fifty. A declaration led to IND D chasing 488 runs total with Ricky Bhui and Yash Dubey’s fifty-plus second wicket stand keeping them in the hunt for the first win in the Duleep Trophy 2024.

‌One great performance is all it takes to turn critics into your strongest supporters. India D’s captain Shreyas Iyer rode a similar vibe as the trolls for a seven-ball duck were rubbished following his scalp at the stroke of Stumps on the second day of the Duleep Trophy clash against India A.

As the saying goes, it is never over until the fat lady sings or Axar Patel departs the crease. The Indian all-rounder has made a habit of playing crucial knocks in the most dire of situations and the Duleep Trophy opener was no different as Axar pummeled 86 runs in a brilliant attacking display.
