Duleep Trophy 2024 : Team India will soon play ten consecutive Tests. They will play two Tests against Bangladesh at home. After that, they will face Australia and New Zealand. If India wants to win the World Test Championship, they have to win these matches for sure. That is why the Indian team is acting differently than before in terms of composition. Achi is taking cautious steps when it comes to selecting players for the Test cricket team. Strictly implementing the rule to play domestic cricket.
As a part of domestic cricket, the currently ongoing Duleep Trophy is being held at Anantapur in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The tournament is being held here on a ground built under the auspices of the Rural Development Trust. Initially, many were surprised to see the tournament held here. Nosalu frowned at BCCI choosing Anantapur when there are so many grounds in the country. But why the BCCI chose Anantapur was not understood until later. Because India A and B teams faced each other in the Duleep Trophy which started on Thursday. Which team invited the B team who lost the toss to bat? And then the real fun started. Taking advantage of the humidity on the ground, the bowlers of the Indian team bowled the balls like fire. Due to this, the players of India B team were afraid to stay on the field. They were unable to defend the balls that were flying like rockets. In the India B team, only the openers Yashaswi Jaiswal (30) and Abhimanyu Eshwar (13) played in a somewhat healthy manner. The other players Sarfaraz Khan (9), Rishabh Pant (7), Nitish Kumar Reddy (0), Washington Sundar (0) , Sai Kishore (1) If the visitors reached the pavilion as soon as they arrived, you can understand the level of bowling.

It's enough to excel here.. Just like in Australia..
Khalil Ahmed, Akash Deep and Avesh Khan took two wickets each among India's bowlers. Actually Anantapur Maidan and Perth in Australia are same. Moreover, after the tournament with Bangladesh, India will have to face Australia. That is why BCCI chose Anantapur ground. BCCI hopes that the players who have played on this field will excel in Australia as well. Because India does not need to face much trouble in the Test series with Bangladesh. But in the case of the same Border-Gavaskar tournament, India has to sweat. Moreover, the five-Test series will affect India's World Test Champions Trophy chances. If India wins the Border-Gavaskar Trophy over Australia like in the last two seasons, there is a possibility that another team other than Australia will enter the final of the World Test Championship. After Australia, India will play a Test series against New Zealand. New Zealand plains are similar to Australia. That's why BCCI left all the other grounds and chose Anantapur.
