The Indian team has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh from September 19 this month. The squad for that series can be announced next week after seeing the performance of the first phase of Duleep Trophy 2024. But before the start of the series, Indian star players have increased the tension of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma.

Actually, before the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Indian players are participating in the Duleep Trophy. Before the series against Bangladesh, Indian players will prepare themselves for the red ball format by playing in the Duleep Trophy 2024. But in the very first round of the Duleep Trophy, the performance of many Indian players was very disappointing. From Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, many players could not shine with the bat during this period.

Duleep Trophy 2024: Team India’s star players flopped with the bat on the first day

Yashasvi Jaiswal

India B opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score only 30 runs with the help of 6 fours in 59 balls in the first innings against India A. He was sent back to the pavilion by right-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. He got a good start in this match, it seemed that he would play a big innings, but he failed to do so.

Sarfraz Ahmed

Sarfaraz Khan, who made it to the Indian team for the Test series against England, also failed today. Sarfaraz is also a part of India B and he could score only 9 runs off 35 balls against India A. He was LBWed by Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the team for the upcoming Test series or not. Right now, before him, senior players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are ready to return to the team.

Rishabh Pant

Another batsman of India B, Rishabh Pant also disappointed the team and Indian fans. After the car accident, Pant has been seen playing T20 and ODIs so far, but he has not been able to return to Tests. Pant was able to score only 7 runs with the help of 1 four in 10 balls against India A. He was made his victim by Akashdeep. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would like Pant to return to form before the Bangladesh series.

Shreyas Iyer

Another batsman who failed to play a big innings today is Shreyas Iyer. Right-handed middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is trying to make a comeback in the Test team, disappointed everyone. He is the captain of India D. Iyer became the victim of Vijay Kumar on a personal score of 9. It is very difficult to say whether he will be able to make a comeback in India’s Test team after this performance or not.

You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket.

I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33).
