The Duleep Trophy, starting in Bengaluru, marks the beginning of the 2025–26 domestic cricket season and provides a crucial platform for players aiming to secure a spot in India's Test squad.
With several positions up for grabs, including the No. 3 and No. 6 batting spots, players like Shreyas Iyer have a golden opportunity to impress the selectors. Iyer, along with other hopefuls like Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan, will be looking to make a strong statement with their performances in the tournament.
The upcoming home Test series against West Indies and South Africa adds further significance to the Duleep Trophy. Strong performances in this tournament could pave the way for a return to the national team for Iyer and other contenders.
