Musheer Khan played an absolutely phenomenal first innings in the 2024 Duleep Trophy. He came at number three, and while others lost their wickets around him, India A found it nearly impossible to get him out. He ended up making 181 runs in 373 balls in the first innings. Although he followed this up with a duck in the second innings, his technique and prowess in the first innings itself were enough to wow fans all over India. He was also awarded the Player of the Match award for his performance. If he can continue to perform at this level in the Duleep Trophy, he will surely find his name written on a huge IPL contract very soon.

Navdeep Saini not only showed his class with the ball but also contributed with the bat. He picked up three wickets at an economy of 3.75 in 16 overs in the first innings. He also made 56 runs in 144 balls with the bat and proved to be a very good supporting partner to Musheer Khan when others were losing their wickets very easily. He followed this with a couple of more wickets in the second innings at an economy of 3.42. It is quite late in Saini’s career to be blooming now, but given his performances in the Duleep Trophy, you cannot rule out a late comeback in his career.

Manav Suthar was absolutely incredible with the ball, especially in the second innings. He bowled seven overs in the first innings and picked up just one wicket at an economy of 4.86.

Axar Patel was the standout batsman from India D in the first innings. It seemed like a near-impossible pitch to bat on, with experienced players like Shreyas Iyer and Devdutt Padikkal losing their wickets for 9 and 0 runs, respectively. However, Axar Patel managed to navigate the wicket very beautifully and made 86 runs in 118 balls to help his team put up a respectable score. While he was not at his best in the second innings, he still contributed 28 runs in 59 balls. Axar Patel received praise from both his teammates and opponents for how he batted in the first innings.

Harshit Rana looked extremely deadly for India D in the Duleep Trophy, especially with the new ball. He bowled 13 overs in the first innings, including five maiden overs. He ended up picking up four wickets at an economy of 2.54 in the first innings. While he was unable to replicate this performance in the second inning, he still came perilously close to picking up wickets in the second innings, showing just how deadly he can be. Rana has a long future ahead of him and will surely develop into an even better bowler as his career progresses.
