At present, an important match of Duleep Trophy 2024 is being played between India C and India D at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur. In this match, India D batted first and scored 164 runs after losing all wickets in their first innings. Experienced all-rounder Akshar Patel batted brilliantly for the team and played a valuable innings of 86 runs in 118 balls with the help of 6 fours and 6 sixes.

Let us tell you, this innings is very important for India D because at one time the team had lost its eight important wickets for 76 runs. However, after this, Akshar Patel batted aggressively with Arshdeep Singh and made a brilliant partnership of 84 runs for the 9th wicket. Arshdeep Singh handled one end very well and played aggressive shots continuously.

Apart from Axar Patel, no other player from India D has been able to make an impact with his batting in the first innings. Axar Patel’s wicket was taken by Hrithik Shaukeen in this match. The excellent all-rounder will be very disappointed that he could not score a century in the first innings.

Vijaykumar Vyshak took three wickets for India C while Anshul Kamboj and Himanshu Chauhan took two wickets each. Hrithik Shaukeen and Manav Suthar took 1-1 wickets.
