Alongside the first Test between India and Bangladesh in Chennai, domestic cricket is also in progress in the country in Anantapur. The third and final round of matches are currently being played in Duleep Trophy and India's Test hopefuls are not having a great time.

Ishan Kishan, who makes a memorable return to red ball cricket by scoring a hundred for India C, needs another epic knock to garner more attention from the selectors.

Samson's innings included 11 fours and 3 sixes, showcasing his batting prowess. Other notable contributions came from opener Devdutt Padikkal, who scored 50 runs, Srikar Bharat with 52, and Ricky Bhui,

On the first day of play in the third and final round of matches in the 2024 Duleep Trophy, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer had contrasting outings with the bat while playing for India D against India B at the Rural Trust Development Stadium B in Anantapur on Thursday (September 19).

Shreyas Iyer departed for a duck during the Duleep Trophy 2024 clash but shined with the ball taking a wicket off his first ball.

Khaleel Ahmed was on a roll as he took two wickets in two overs for India A, dismissing two batters early in the game as India D managed only 28 runs in 7 overs. He first removed Atharva Taide and later dismissed skipper Shreyas Iyer at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.

The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson , Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh will get another opportunity to enhance their red-ball credentials when the final round of Duleep Trophy matches begin here on Thursday.

Shreyas Iyer, picked as India D captain, scored just 104 runs in four Duleep Trophy innings, which included dismissal for a duck and one half-century knock.

Test comeback hopes of Shreyas Iyer fade as poor shot selection in the Duleep Trophy keeps him out of WTC cycle plans of India and BCCI. Domestic form in Ranji Trophy can be decider.
