India A Bats First, Shashwat Rawat Shines

India A captain Mayank Agarwal opted to bat first after winning the toss. The decision proved initially fruitful as the openers, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Priyank Panchal, provided a solid foundation. However, a middle-order collapse saw India A lose wickets at regular intervals.

Enter Shashwat Rawat. The young batsman played a pivotal role, anchoring the innings with a well-constructed century (108). He displayed a blend of patience and aggression, finding boundaries at crucial junctures. His knock, along with valuable contributions from wicket-keeper Ishan Porel (48) and Sarfaraz Khan (42), helped India A post a decent total of 297 runs.


India C's Fightback Falters

India C's chase got off to a shaky start as pacer Mukesh Kumar dismissed both openers – Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhimanyu Easwaran – early. However, centurion Sai Sudharsan (113) steadied the ship with a gritty knock. He found support from Baba Indrajith (47) and Shoaib Khan (42), building a promising partnership for the third wicket.


Prasidh Krishna Steps Up for India A

Just when India C seemed to be gaining momentum, Prasidh Krishna turned the tide in India A's favor. The right-arm pacer displayed exceptional control and accuracy, picking up crucial wickets at regular intervals. He dismissed the well-set Sai Sudharsan, followed by Anshul Kamboj and Baba Indrajith in quick succession, effectively dismantling India C's batting line-up.


India A Spinners Seal the Deal

The Indian A spinners, led by the experienced Kuldeep Yadav and the promising Rahul Chahar, provided excellent support to Prasidh Krishna. They tightened the noose around India C's batsmen, restricting them to scoring opportunities. With wickets falling consistently, India C's resistance crumbled, eventually falling short of the target by 132 runs.


Prasidh Krishna Deservedly Named Player of the Match

For his match-winning bowling performance, Prasidh Krishna was rightfully awarded the Player of the Match trophy. His three crucial wickets in the final session broke the back of India C's batting line-up. Shashwat Rawat, with his century in the first innings, also played a significant role in setting the stage for India A's victory.


India A's Dominant Performance

India A's victory in the Duleep Trophy is a testament to their overall team performance throughout the tournament. They displayed a strong batting line-up with consistent contributions from various players. Additionally, their bowling attack, spearheaded by seasoned and young talents, proved potent throughout the competition.


Lessons for Budding Cricketers

The Duleep Trophy 2024 served as a valuable platform for young Indian cricketers to showcase their talent. Players like Shashwat Rawat and Prasidh Krishna grabbed their opportunities with both hands, emerging as key contributors to India A's success. This highlights the importance of consistent performance and seizing opportunities at every level.
