By September 19, 2024 0

Shashwat Rawat’s Unconquered Century Rescues India A from Collapse in Duleep Trophy

India A’s batting lineup faced a severe test on the opening day of their Duleep Trophy encounter against India C in Anantapur. However, a remarkable century from Shashwat Rawat salvaged the innings, guiding his team to a respectable total of 224 for seven.

Rawat, a left-handed batter from Baroda, displayed exceptional resilience and skill, remaining unbeaten on 122 off 235 deliveries. His innings was adorned with 15 boundaries, showcasing his ability to play a variety of shots with precision.

India A’s batting woes began early, with the top order crumbling to 36 for five. Pratham Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Tilak Varma, and Riyan Parag all failed to reach double figures. However, Rawat found an able ally in Shams Mulani, who contributed a valuable 44 off 76 balls.

The duo forged a crucial 87-run partnership, providing much-needed stability to the innings. Mulani, who had been the match-winner in the previous game with the ball, proved his all-round abilities with a gritty knock.

India C’s bowlers, led by Anshul Kamboj, who had claimed eight wickets in an innings last week, put up a strong performance. Kamboj picked up three wickets for 40 runs, while Vijaykumar Vyshak chipped in with two for 33.

Despite Rawat’s heroics, India C remain in a strong position, sitting atop the Duleep Trophy standings with nine points. They will aim to dismiss India A quickly on day two and secure a crucial victory.

Medium-Pacer Anshul Kamboj Shines in Duleep Trophy with Eight-Wicket Haul

Medium-Pacer Anshul Kamboj Shines in Duleep Trophy with Eight-Wicket Haul

By September 16, 2024 0

Medium-pacer Anshul Kamboj’s impressive performance in the Duleep Trophy has earned him praise and recognition. The 23-year-old was initially surprised by his selection but seized the opportunity to showcase his skills.

In the second-round match against India-B, Kamboj’s eight-wicket haul for 69 runs played a pivotal role in securing a significant first-innings lead for India-C. His maiden First Class five-wicket haul came on a batting-friendly wicket, highlighting his ability to adapt and excel in challenging conditions.

Kamboj’s bowling effort was particularly impressive considering the absence of pace spearhead Sandeep Warrier due to a hamstring injury. He and Vijaykumar Vyshak had to shoulder the extra workload, which they did with aplomb.

Despite having played only 13 First Class matches prior to the tournament, Kamboj displayed maturity and composure. He explained his strategy of bowling in front of the batters to increase the chances of lbw and bowled dismissals.

Among his wickets, Kamboj was particularly proud of dismissing Sarfaraz Khan, a renowned batsman in the domestic circuit. He credited his success to bowling in the right areas and maintaining consistency.

India-B skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran, who carried his bat with an unbeaten 157, expressed satisfaction with his ability to bat for an extended period after recovering from a hamstring injury. He emphasized the importance of spending time in the middle and gaining confidence for future matches.

Kamboj’s performance has not only earned him the Player-of-the-Match award but also raised hopes for his future prospects. His ability to perform under pressure and adapt to different conditions bodes well for his career.

India C and India B Draw in Duleep Trophy Fixture

India C and India B Draw in Duleep Trophy Fixture

By September 15, 2024 0

India C and India B played out a tame draw in their second Duleep Trophy 2024-25 fixture in Anantapur. Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj’s career-best haul of 8 for 69 and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s second half-century of the match were the major highlights on the dull fourth day.

Resuming on 309 for 7, India B were bowled out for 332 with Kamboj picking up all three wickets to fall. Abhimanyu Easwaran, the India B captain, carried his bat through and was unbeaten on 157 as his side conceded a 193-run lead early on the final day.

India C, however, decided to settle for the first-innings honours and were at 128 for 4 after 37 overs when both captains decided to shake hands. Kamboj’s performance was among his most impactful yet in a nascent first-class career. Coming into his 15th game, Kamboj hadn’t taken more than three wickets in a single innings previously. His eight-for in Anantapur brought him the second-best figures by a fast bowler in Duleep Trophy history, behind Debasis Mohanty (10 for 46).

India C lost B Sai Sudharsan early when Mukesh Kumar had him bowled for 11. Gaikwad and Rajat Patidar put on 96 for the second wicket, Patidar hitting 42 to go with his first innings 40, before falling to Musheer Khan’s left-arm spin. Rahul Chahar, the legspinner, then had first-innings centurion Ishan Kishan for 1, followed by Gaikwad’s scalp in his very next over.

The only blip for India C in this game was a leg injury to pacer Sandeep Warrier, which led to him hobbling off after just 1.1 overs. Manav Suthar, who picked up a match-winning seven-for in the first round of matches, went wicketless in this game. His figures read: 33-4-85-0. Musheer, the player of the match last week for his 181, managed just 1 while Sarfaraz Khan, asked to play in this fixture before linking up with the Indian Test squad in Chennai, managed 16.

Abhimanyu Easwaran Anchors India-B with Gritty Century in Duleep Trophy

By September 15, 2024 0

Indian Test cricket’s long-standing fringe player Abhimanyu Easwaran showcased his resilience and determination in the second-round Duleep Trophy match against India-C at the Rural Development Trust (RDT) Stadium B-ground.

Easwaran, who has often been on the cusp of Test selection, anchored his team’s innings with a gritty 143 (262b, 12×4, 1×6) on Saturday. His unbeaten knock helped India-B end the third day on 309 for seven, still 216 runs behind India-C’s first-innings total of 525.

Easwaran’s innings was a testament to his patience and ability to grind out runs in challenging conditions. He shared a 129-run opening partnership with N. Jagadeesan (70), who was caught behind off medium-pacer Anshul Kamboj.

However, India-B’s progress was hampered by a middle-order collapse. Musheer Khan and Sarfaraz Khan fell cheaply to Kamboj, while Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy were dismissed by Kamboj and Markande, respectively.

Kamboj emerged as the star performer for India-C, claiming a five-wicket haul. His incisive bowling put India-B under pressure and restricted their scoring rate.

Despite the setbacks, Easwaran remained unyielding at the crease. He brought up his 24th first-class hundred off 178 balls, displaying his unwavering focus and determination.

Easwaran’s innings was a reminder of his potential and the value he can bring to the Indian Test team. His ability to bat for long periods and anchor the innings could prove invaluable in the future.

By September 13, 2024 0

India B openers Abhimanyu Easwaran and Narayan Jagadeesan put on a solid opening stand of 124 runs on the second day of their Duleep Trophy match against India C in Anantapur. The duo remained unbeaten at stumps, with Easwaran on 51 and Jagadeesan on 67, as India B trailed by 401 runs.

India C bowlers failed to make any inroads into the India B batting, with none of them able to pick up a wicket in the 36 overs bowled. Frontline bowler Sandeep Warrier was forced to leave the field due to an injury early in the innings.

Earlier, Manav Suthar played a crucial role in helping India C post a mammoth first-innings total of 525. The 22-year-old scored a well-crafted 82 off 156 balls, anchoring the innings after the departure of overnight batter Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Suthar found support from Anshul Kamboj, who made a quickfire 38 off 27 balls, and Mayank Markande, who contributed 17 off 21 deliveries. Suthar’s knock included 11 fours and three sixes, and it was his fourth First-Class half-century and first in the Duleep Trophy.

Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar was the most successful bowler for India C, taking 4/73, while pacer Mukesh Kumar also chipped in with 4/126.

On the first day, Ishan Kishan had marked his First-Class return with a counterattacking century, scoring 111 off 126 balls to help India C reach 357 for five.

India D’s Shreyas Iyer’s Sunglasses Look Goes Viral, But India C Triumphs in Duleep Trophy Opener

India D captain Shreyas Iyer’s unconventional sunglasses look during the Duleep Trophy match against India A has sparked a buzz on social media. However, despite his stylish appearance, Iyer’s team fell short in their pursuit of victory, losing by four wickets.

In the opening match of the tournament, Iyer scored 9 and 54, but his efforts were not enough to secure a win for India D. Opting to bowl first, India D restricted India A to 290 runs, with pacer Khaleel Ahmed claiming two quick wickets, including Iyer’s dismissal for a duck.

When India D came out to bat, they lost their top four wickets for just 55 runs, including Iyer’s crucial wicket. The India D captain, who walked in after Atharva Taide was dismissed for 4 off 3 balls, was spotted wearing sunglasses, a look that quickly went viral online.

However, Iyer’s stay at the crease was brief, as he was dismissed for a 7-ball duck. Fans, who initially praised his ‘cool’ sunglasses look, soon turned to trolling the right-hander on social media.

Despite Iyer’s disappointing performance, India D fought back and managed to post a respectable total of 240 runs. However, India C chased down the target with relative ease, thanks to a solid batting performance from their top order.

Ishan Kishan's Century Powers India C to Dominant Start in Duleep Trophy

Ishan Kishan’s Century Powers India C to Dominant Start in Duleep Trophy

By September 12, 2024 0

Ishan Kishan’s scintillating century propelled India C to a commanding position on the opening day of the second round of the Duleep Trophy. The left-handed opener, who was a late inclusion in the squad, smashed a counterattacking 111 off 126 deliveries to lay the foundation for India C’s imposing total of 357 for 5 at stumps.

Kishan, who was originally set to play for India D, was drafted into the India C team on match-eve after making a late dash from Bengaluru. The 24-year-old showed no signs of fatigue as he dominated the proceedings, forging a crucial 189-run partnership with B Indrajith for the third wicket. Indrajith contributed a valuable 78, his second half-century in three innings.

Kishan’s knock, which included 14 fours and three sixes, marked his official return to red-ball cricket since his Test debut in the Caribbean in July 2023. Last month, he had led Jharkhand in two pre-season games in Tamil Nadu, where he had struck a century in his first outing.

India C’s batting performance was further bolstered by the return of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had retired hurt in the first over after twisting his ankle. Gaikwad returned to bat at the fall of Indrajith’s wicket and added 42 more to his score to remain unbeaten on 46 at stumps.

However, India C’s progress was not without its setbacks. Seamer Mukesh Kumar picked up three wickets, while Navdeep Saini and legspinner Rahul Chahar claimed one apiece. B Sai Sudharsan and Rajat Patidar, both vying for a place in the Indian middle order, failed to capitalize on strong starts, making 43 and 40 respectively.

Despite these minor setbacks, India C will be confident heading into the second day, with Kishan and Gaikwad at the crease and a solid platform to build upon.

Ruturaj Gaikwad Retires Hurt in Duleep Trophy Match, India C Faces Early Setback

India C captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Duleep Trophy campaign took a setback on Thursday when he retired hurt after facing just two balls in their match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.

Gaikwad, who is also the captain of the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, twisted his ankle on the second delivery he faced from pacer Mukesh Kumar. He managed to hit a four on the first ball but was forced to leave the field after the injury.

The injury is not considered serious, and Gaikwad is expected to bat in the second innings. However, his early departure put India C on the back foot, as they lost their captain and key batsman early in the innings.

Despite the setback, India C managed to recover with a solid partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Rajat Patidar. Sudharsan scored 43 runs off 75 balls, while Patidar contributed 40 runs from 67 balls. The duo shared a crucial 92-run stand for the second wicket, facing 140 balls in total.

After their promising partnership, both batters were dismissed in quick succession, leaving Ishan Kishan and Baba Indrajith to rebuild the innings.

India B, led by Abhimanyu Easwaran, won the toss and opted to bowl first. They put India C on the back foot early, with Gaikwad’s injury and the dismissals of Sudharsan and Patidar.

However, India C showed resilience and fought back with a solid partnership between Kishan and Indrajith. The duo put on 50 runs for the fourth wicket, helping India C recover from the early setbacks.

The match is evenly poised, with India C looking to build on their recovery and India B aiming to take control of the game.

Ishan Kishan's Surprise Duleep Trophy Inclusion Sparks Confusion

Ishan Kishan’s Surprise Duleep Trophy Inclusion Sparks Confusion

Ishan Kishan’s Surprise Inclusion in Duleep Trophy Raises Questions

In a surprising turn of events, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has made an unexpected appearance in the playing XI of the India C team in the second round of the Duleep Trophy. This development has raised eyebrows, as Kishan was previously ruled out of the tournament due to a groin injury.

The confusion began when Kishan, a regular in India’s cricket squad until last year, was initially ruled out of the Duleep Trophy’s first round. The BCCI had announced his injury, sustained during the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament, with Sanju Samson named as his replacement in the India D squad.

When the second round squad lists were released, Kishan was not mentioned, and there were no updates about his recovery. However, on September 12, Kishan appeared in the playing XI for India C against India B, causing speculation and confusion among fans and cricket analysts. The second-round announcement had stated no changes in the India C team, adding to the surprise.

The uncertainty over how Kishan, initially ruled out with an injury, suddenly joined the India C lineup has escalated without an official statement from the BCCI. Previously, Kishan had stepped away from cricket due to mental health issues, causing him to be dropped from the Indian squads and lose his central contract. His recent century in the Buchi Babu Invitational was seen as a positive sign of his return.

With Kishan’s unexpected inclusion in the Duleep Trophy, fans await clarification from the BCCI. The situation has led to further speculation about his future in Indian cricket. Some believe that his inclusion indicates a return to form and a potential recall to the national team, while others question the timing and circumstances of his recovery.

The BCCI’s silence on the matter has only added to the intrigue surrounding Kishan’s inclusion. It remains to be seen whether the board will provide an official explanation or whether Kishan’s return will remain shrouded in mystery.
