India’s star cricketer, Shreyas Iyer, had a mixed day in the Duleep Trophy 2024 match. He was dismissed for a duck after just seven balls. However, what caught the internet’s attention was Iyer walking out to bat wearing sunglasses. Despite his early dismissal, he later took a wicket with his very first ball, marking his first wicket in first-class cricket in six years.

Solid Partnership Between Sudharsan and Patidar

Despite the early loss of their captain, India C managed to recover thanks to a solid partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Rajat Patidar. Sudharsan scored 43 runs from 75 balls, while Patidar contributed 40 runs from 67 balls. Together, they put up a 92-run partnership for the second wicket, facing 140 deliveries.

Gaikwad’s Injury Update

Reports suggest that Gaikwad twisted his ankle while running after facing a ball from pacer Mukesh Kumar. Although he retired hurt, the injury is not considered serious, and he is expected to bat in the second innings.
