NEW DELHI: The final round of the Duleep Trophy 2024 starts on Thursday. This round will be crucial for players like Shreyas Iyer , Sanju Samson , Riyan Parag , and Rinku Singh to enhance their red-ball credentials.
There are no knockout games in the tournament this year. The team with the most points will win the trophy. India C, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad , currently tops the table with nine points from two matches. They are followed by India B with seven points, India A with six points, and India D, which has no points yet.
In a key matchup, India C will face India A, captained by Mayank Agarwal . Meanwhile, India B, led by Abhimanyu Easwaran, will take on India D, with Shreyas Iyer as captain.
Iyer, who was left out of the Bangladesh series, has not made a significant impact in this tournament so far. He will be looking to perform well to regain his form and silence his critics.
Selectors will pay close attention to the performances of Sanju Samson and pacer Arshdeep Singh from India D. On the India B side, Rinku Singh will try to redeem himself after a low score in the last match.

In the India A versus India C game, performances from Mayank Agarwal, Riyan Parag, and Sai Sudharsan will be crucial. Parag has been confident but needs to extend his innings for a lasting impact.
Pacer Prasidh Krishna, back from injury, aims to bowl significant overs. Left-arm spinner Shams Mulani hopes to replicate his previous match-winning efforts in favorable conditions.
Ishan Kishan, who scored a century for India C in his return to red-ball cricket, will aim for another significant score to strengthen his case for future selection.
