The Duleep Trophy 2024 is set to be both different and significant, as several big stars and BCCI centrally contracted players will participate. This tournament will be crucial for them to get acclimated to the conditions and practice ahead of a busy home Test season.

With Bangladesh visiting India in September for a Test series, followed by New Zealand in October for a three-match Test series, Indian players need to be in top form.
On that note, let’s take a look at the top five players to watch out for in the Duleep Trophy 2024:

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is emerging as a potential successor to Rohit Sharma as the all-format captain for India. The Indian management is clear about this, and they will closely monitor his performance in the upcoming home season. Gill will be eager to score heavily in the Duleep Trophy 2024, where he will lead his team as captain.

Shreyas Iyer

Another big star to watch out for in the Duleep Trophy 2024 is Shreyas Iyer. While Iyer is known for his skills against spin, questions have been raised about his ability to handle fast bowling. He will aim to work on this aspect of his game during this domestic tournament.

KL Rahul

The recent times haven’t been kind to KL Rahul. After being dropped from T20 Internationals and missing out on the T20 World Cup 2024, it’s clear that his career in the shortest format may be over. Now, he needs to focus on the remaining formats—ODIs and Test cricket. With a busy Test season ahead, Rahul will be keen to secure his spot in the playing XI, and it all starts with this tournament, where he will play under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.

Rishabh Pant

After recovering from serious injuries following a road accident in 2022, Rishabh Pant made a stunning return to T20 cricket in the IPL and played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup win. He is known for playing attacking cricket in red-ball and will be eager to make a strong comeback, especially with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the horizon.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal is another player to keep a close eye on. He is one of the most promising batsmen in India’s current Test team. Jaiswal had a fantastic performance in the recent five-match Test series against England, finishing as the highest run-scorer with over 700 runs. He will be eager to continue that form in this tournament.
