The Duleep Trophy is scheduled to start the domestic season in India on Wednesday. North Zone and North East Zone square off in the first round (quarterfinals) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, while Central Zone faces East Zone at the Alur grounds.ย
Meanwhile, a picture is getting viral on social media in which Indian cricket team players Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw have posed for a funny selfie before leaving for the upcoming Duleep Trophy. Many fans have reacted to the picture and have advised both players to focus on the game as many big events are on the cards this year.
In view of this new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle's search for up-and-coming talent, the competition acquires relevance. Rohit Sharma, India's captain, recently said that some changes to the elderly Test team may be necessary as a result of India's humiliating loss to Australia in the WTC final in London.
Shaw's bad outing in IPL 2023
With his signing with Northamptonshire, Shaw is set to make his English County cricket debut. After the Duleep Trophy, he will play in four-day County fixtures and the Royal London One-Day Cup. When Shaw brilliantly struck 379 runs off 383 deliveries against Assam in the previous Ranji Trophy season, it was clear that he had remarkable batting ability.
The young cricketer Shaw now has a fantastic opportunity to hone his abilities and earn priceless experience in English County cricket thanks to his deal with Northamptonshire. Shaw has already had an effect on the international scene after participating in five tests, six ODIs, and one T20I. He has scored 3,679 runs in 42 first-class games, including 12 centuries and 15 fifty-sevens.
With Delhi Capitals, the 23-year-old hitter had a horrible Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL) season. Only eight matches were allowed for him to play because he only managed to score 106 runs with a strike rate of 124.70 and showed no signs of development throughout the season. The Delhi Capitals, who were led by David Warner, finished the season in ninth place with just five victories in 14 games.
Here's how fans reacted:
