India D 143/8 in 42.2 Overs

India C vs India D Live Score: Rarely has a domestic tournament stoked interest in India in recent times. But the focus on the season opener – the Duleep Trophy -is hardly surprising, given the high stakes. Between September 19 and January 7, 2025, India will play five Test matches at home and an equal number-all in Australia -away. At the beginning of the Test run, the slots up for grabs in the Indian squad are few and far between -a middle-order slot here, a toss-up between wicketkeepers there, and a couple of backups. But the World Test Championship is gruelling. Ten Test matches spread over 117 days, two countries and varied venues is bound to be taxing on the players. Hence, it is imperative that head coach Gautam Gambhir and the think-tank look at a strengthened bench.
