Openers N Jagadeesan and Abhimanyu Easwaran slammed half-centuries as India B ended day two of their Duleep Trophy round two match on 124/0 at the Rural Development Trust Stadium ‘B’ on Friday. In the morning, resuming from 357/5, after Ishan Kishan made a fine 111, while Baba Indrajith chipped in with a solid 78, India C eventually made 525 in their first innings, with left-arm spinner Manav Suthar scoring 82 runs, laced with 11 fours and three sixes.
India C skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad brought up his fifty but was castled by pacer Mukesh Kumar, who picked up his fourth wicket. Suthar, who hit his fourth first-class half-century, and Mayank Markande (17 runs) got India C to go past the 400-run mark before the latter was bowled by pace-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. Suthar then joined forces with Anshul Kamboj (38 off 27 balls) to stitch a rapid 55-run stand.
Kamboj smashed five boundaries and two maximums in his important cameo, before being castled by leg-spinner Rahul Chahar. Vyshak Vijaykumar (12) and Sandeep Warrier (11 not out) hanged around to stitch partnerships of 28 and 36 respectively with Suthar. But Chahar came back to dismiss Vyshak and had Suthar castled to end India C’s innings in 124.1 overs.
In reply, India B were positive with the bat as Easwaran and Jagadeesan were solid in making runs and getting boundaries. While Easwaran, the India B skipper, hit four boundaries and a six in his unbeaten 51 off 91 balls, Jagadeesan hit eight boundaries to finish the day on 67 not out off 126 balls in a productive day for India B.

Arshdeep Singh And Riyan Parag are two rising prospects of Indian cricket. While fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been a regular in Indian T20I team for a while now, Riyan Parag made his debut with the Zimbabwe Tour in July while he also featured in the Sri Lanka Tour. The two are expected to become mainstays of the team in the coming day. The two came face to face in a Duleep Trophy match on Thursday. While Riyan Parag was playing for India A, Arshdeep Singh starred for India D.
Parag scored 37 off 29 balls (5x4s, 1x6s) while Arshdeep Singh took two wickets for 73 runs. Arshdeep Singh even gave a fiery send-off to Riyan after dismissing him. The vide of the incident has gone viral.

Bowling all-rounder Shams Mulani stood on the cusp of his maiden first-class hundred after leading India A’s remarkable recovery to steer them to 288 for eight on day one of their Duleep Trophy fixture against India D in Anantapur on Thursday. Mulani (88 not out off 174) forged a 91-run stand with fellow Mumbai teammate Tanush Kotian (53 off 80) to save the day for India A who were reduced to 93 for five inside the first session.
Kumar Kushagra (28 off 66) too provided much-needed support to Mulani, who collected eight fours and three sixes in his unbeaten effort. The southpaw would be aiming to surpass his highest score of 97 on Friday.
Mulani, whose main role in the side is of a spinner, effectively used his feet against the slow bowlers especially against fellow left-armer Saurabh Kumar. Against the quicker bowlers, his play square of the wicket stood out.
He brought his half-century with a six down the ground off Saurabh, soon after smashing pacer Arshdeep Singh for a maximum over deep square leg.
Pacer Harshit Rana was impressive once again for India D while Vidwath Kaverappa, playing his first game of the tournament, removed opposition captain Mayank Agarwal (7) and Pratham Singh (7) in the morning session.
India A skipper Agarwal’s lean run in the competition continued as he was caught behind off a beauty from Kaverappa. Pratham played an ordinary stroke, a pull, to be holed out at deep backward square leg.
Riyan Parag (37 off 29) produced some exquisite strokeplay but was guilty of not staying long enough in the middle once again. Parag took the bait from Arshdeep who went for a wide delivery to have the batter caught in the slips Tilak Varma (10) too could not make an impact.
Towards the end of the day, Harshit got rid of Prasidh Krishna with a well-directed short ball that had him caught at leg slip.
A well-set Kotian was guilty of throwing his wicket away as he offered a straight catch to Arshdeep at mid-on off Saurabh in the 67th over, ending an innings-defining partnership.
Brief scores: India A 288/8 in 82 overs (Sham Mulani 88 batting, Tanush Kotian 53; Harshit Rana 2/49, Vidhwath Kaverappa 2/30, Arshdeep Singh 2/73)

The second round of the Duleep Trophy 2024 got underway on Thursday in Anantpur, with India A and India B taking on India C and India D, respectively. Last week, India B thumped India A in Bengaluru, while India C edged out India D in Anantpur. Majority of the players, who were selected for the 1st Test against Bangladesh, including Rishabh Pant, K L Rahul and Shubman Gill, were rested for the second round of Duleep Trophy. Initially, BCCI’s release announcing the teams for the second round of the Duleep Trophy matches, did not have the wicketkeeper-batter’s name.
However, on Thursday, Ishan Kishan came on to bat for India C at No. 4 position. Kishan, who lost his central contract earlier this year, scored 111 off 126 balls with the help of 14 fours and three sixes.
Unfortunately for fans, the match was neither televised nor streamed by the BCCI. On the other hand, there was proper coverage for the match between India A and India D.
As a result, fans were not able to witness Kishan taking the India B bowlers to cleaners. Due to the blackout, fans slammed the BCCI for not televising or streaming the India B vs India C match.
Here’s how Internet reacted:
It’s genuinely a shame that the richest cricket board can’t even telecast two domestic games at the same time. After all the hype the Duleep Trophy got, it’s absurd to think that you can only watch one of the two games.

Disappointed from BCCI. Only two games and you cannot even stream them together.
— Kaushik Kashyap (@CricKaushik_) September 12, 2024
– Not even a single ball bowled in Afghanistan vs New Zealand test match in 4 days
– No live telecast of India B vs India C
– No availability of drs in India B vs India C match
This is the situation of the richest cricket board BCCI #ShameonBCCI #DuleepTrophy

Meanwhile, Kishan had missed the first round match due to an injury. He was initially part of the India D squad, before being replaced by Sanju Samson.
Kishan had garnered negative publicity after he returned midway from India’s Tour of South Africa due to personal reasons late last year. Since then, he has not been considered for the national team though he is one of most aggressive options as wicketkeeper-batter in the country.
Earlier, it was reported that his perceived reluctance to feature in domestic cricket was a likely reason behind him being ignored for international series. However, when he was named for the Duleep Trophy first round of matches, it was seen as a positive step.

Ishan Kishan marked his First-Class return after well over a year with a wonderful hundred, the backbone of India C’s day one total of 357 for five against India B in the Duleep Trophy match in Anantpur on Thursday. Kishan’s 111 (126b, 14×4, 3×6) lifted India C from a slightly wobbly 97 two after they lost Rajat Patidar (40) and B Sai Sudharsan (43) in quick succession. The innings also underlined the fitness of the 26-year-old, who was originally in India D squad, as he missed the first round of Duleep Trophy with a groin injury.
Sanju Samson was drafted in as Kishan’s replacement in India D squad, necessitating the redrafting of the former into India C.
Cutting back to the match, India C’s situation was compounded by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s return to the hut with an ankle niggle after facing just two balls.
However, any major concern over Gaikwad’s fitness was allayed when he came out to bat after Kishan’s dismissal, making an unbeaten 46 (50b, 7×4, 2×6) to guard the crease along with Manav Suthar (8 batting).
But the day belonged to Kishan, who added another solid brick to his comeback trial into red-ball cricket.
The left-hander had made a hundred in Jharkhand’s opening round win over Madhya Pradesh in the recently concluded Buchi Babu Invitational tournament in Tamil Nadu.
That game in Coimbatore was his first red-ball match after the Test against the West Indies at Port of Spain in July 2023, and he carried on with his redemption act here as well.
He had Baba Indrajith (78, 136b, 9×4) for the company as the pair milked 189 runs for the third wicket stand to take India C to a commanding position.
Indrajith also had a slice of fortune as the Tamil Nadu batter had edged pacer Navdeep Saini to Sarfaraz Khan at slips just before lunch, and he walked off.
But Indrajith was called back to resume batting as Saini had overstepped during that delivery.
However, all this drama at the other end did not ruffle Kishan as he continued to dismantle India B bowlers.
Kishan played late and close to his body to nip the early movement and it was evidenced in the 10 boundaries he got across square and fine leg regions.
He had to make that technical adjustment as spinners – R Sai Kishore and Rahul Chahar – bowled just 17 overs between them this day.
Occasionally, power overshadowed his general finesse on the day as well, as whenever the opportunity presented itself, the left-hander was not hesitant to flex his muscles.
He hammered Saini for two sixes in the fine leg region and once lifted Mukesh Kumar over mid-wicket for maximums.
Eventually, he was bowled by pacer Mukesh, the most successful India bowler with three wickets, but he has already placed India C in a position of strength.
After Kishan’s departure, India C received a further move-on as Gaikwad came back and added some quick runs to push India B against the wall.
Brief score: India C: 357/5 in 79 overs (Ishan Kishan 111, Baba Indrajith 78, Ruturaj Gaikwad 46 batting; Mukesh Kumar 3/76) vs India B.

Ishan Kishan was in the news again on Thursday as he made a surprise appearance in the India C team for the Duleep Trophy match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B, Anantapur. Initially, BCCI’s release announcing the teams for the second round of the Duleep Trophy matches, did not have the wicketkeeper-batter’s name. However, on Thursday, Ishan Kishan came on to bat for India C at No. 4 position.
He scored 111 off 126 balls. The innings included 14 fours and three sixes.
We got Ishan Kishan century clip!

He was initially named in India D squad for the first round of Duleep Trophy matches.
Then, on September 4, BCCI said in a release, “Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the first round of the Duleep Trophy due to a groin injury sustained during the ongoing All-India Buchi Babu Tournament. The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring his condition and working towards ensuring a swift recovery.”
In the same release, BCCI also named the India C and India D squads for the first round of matches, which was, “India C: Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Sai Sudharsan, Rajat Patidar, Abishek Porel (WK), B Indrajith, Hrithik Shokeen, Manav Suthar, Gaurav Yadav, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Anshul Khamboj, Himanshu Chauhan, Mayank Markande, Aryan Juyal (WK), Sandeep Warrier.
“India D squad: Shreyas lyer (C), Atharva Taide, Yash Dubey, Devdutt Padikkal, Ricky Bhui, Saransh Jain, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Aditya Thakare, Harshit Rana, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Sengupta, KS Bharat (WK), Saurabh Kumar, Sanju Samson (WK)”
Later on September 10, the BCCI wrote in a release announcing squads for Duleep Trophy second round, “Team C squad remains unchanged for the second round. Updated India D squad: Shreyas lyer (C), Atharva Taide, Yash Dubey, Devdutt Padikkal, Ricky Bhui, Saransh Jain, Arshdeep Singh, Aditya Thakare, Harshit Rana, Akash Sengupta, KS Bharat (WK), Saurabh Kumar, Sanju Samson (WK), Nishant Sindhu, Vidwath Kaverappa.”
Hence, Kishan’s name was not there in both the squads.
Kishan had garnered negative publicity after he returned midway from India’s Tour of South Africa due to personal reasons late last year. Since then, he has not been considered for the national team though he is one of most aggressive options as wicketkeeper-batter in the country.
Earlier, it was reported that his perceived reluctance to feature in domestic cricket was a likely reason behind him being ignored for international series. However, when he was named for the Duleep Trophy first round of matches, it was seen as a positive step.

A setback for India C, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad retired hurt after facing just two balls in their Duleep Trophy 2024 match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh on Thursday. Gaikwad, who managed to hit a four on the first ball he faced, twisted his ankle on the next delivery and was forced to leave the field. India B won the toss and opted to bowl first, putting India C on the back foot early. Despite the early blow of losing their captain, India C managed to recover with a solid partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Rajat Patidar.
However, Gaikwad, who is the Chennai Super Kings captain, came on to bat later on.
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.
Reports said that Gaikwad twisted his ankle while running after facing a delivery from pacer Mukesh Kumar. Although he had to retire hurt, the injury is not considered serious, and he is expected to bat in the second innings. Gaikwad has had a challenging period in his red-ball cricket career recently.
The 27-year-old was named in India’s Test squad for the two-match series against South Africa last December but was ruled out due to a finger injury. In his first-class career, Gaikwad has played 30 games, amassing 2,092 runs with six centuries and ten fifties.
His first-class, List A, and T20 debuts came during the 2016-17 season for Maharashtra. Captain of India B Abhimanyu Easwaran won the toss and elected to bowl first.
India C’s: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sai Sudharsan, Rajat Patidar, Ishan Kishan, Baba Indrajith, Abhishek Porel (Wk), Anshul Kamboj, Mayank Markande, Manav Suthar, Vyshak Vijay Kumar, and Sandeep Warrier.
India B: Abhimanyu Easwaran, Narayan Jagadeesan (Wk), Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz Khan, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Sai Kishore, Navdeep Saini, Rahul Chahar, and Mukesh Kumar.

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan made a surprise appearance for India C during the Duleep Trophy second round match against India B at Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur on Thursday. Kishan did not play the first round of Duleep Trophy matches due to a groin injury he picked up while playing for Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu tournament. Following the announcement of India’s squad for the first Test match against Bangladesh, a lot of changes were made to the Duleep Trophy squads but Kishan did not feature in the announcement. As a result, fans were left stunned when he was named in the India C playing XI for the match against India B.

Kishan was initially part of the India D squad but Sanju Samson was named as his replacement after he missed the first round of matches. The other thing that confused the fans was the fact that BCCI said in its media release that no changes were made to the India C squad.
