Duleep Trophy: Duleep Trophy, one of India's prestigious tournaments, has started. On the first day, the match is being played between India C and India D. India C is led by Rituraj Gaikwad while India D is led by Shreyas Iyer. On the first day, India D got hold of the opposition team.

At the same time, India C captain Rituraj proved to be a flop in the first innings of the first match of Duleep Trophy 2024. With this, the doors of his return to India's international team seem to be closed again. Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir will now hardly give a chance to this player in the Test series against Bangladesh.

Let us know the whole thing in detail.

Rituraj Gaikwad's flop show in Duleep Trophy

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad did not get a chance in the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

However, this player from Maharashtra performed well in the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. Despite this, head coach Gautam Gambhir dropped the 27-year-old batsman from the team.

In such a situation, Rituraj had a golden opportunity to make a comeback through Duleep Trophy 2024. However, he could not do anything special in the first innings of the first match against India D. This right-handed batsman returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs off 19 balls. It remains to be seen what wonders he can show in the second innings.

The account of this match has been something like this

If we look at the scorecard of the match between India C and India D, India C captain Rituraj Gaikwad chose to field first after winning the toss.

India D came to bat first and were all out for 164 runs in the first innings. Axar Patel scored the highest 86 runs.

In response, India C had a very bad start. By the end of the first day's play, the team's score was 91 runs for 4 wickets. It remains to be seen which way this match turns.
