As per reports, many senior cricketers will feature in Duleep Trophy 2024. This time around, there would be four teams and there would not be any zonal-based squad selection. It will be interesting to see who gets appointed as the skippers. Here, we take a look at the list of four players who should be appointed as captains for the Duleep Trophy 2024.
1) KL Rahul
KL Rahul had led India in all the formats. He is someone with decent captaincy potential. If India needs to pick a captain to lead in the transition period after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, KL Rahul will be the perfect option. Also, KL Rahul needs confidence to get back to scoring runs. Becoming a captain could help him do that.
2) Shubman Gill
Gill is one of the players who should be appointed as captains for the Duleep Trophy 2024. There are reports that Gill will also be the vice-captain in Tests. If that is going to happen, the Duleep Trophy will offer a good test for the youngster. It will also be a good experience for him with the armband.
3) Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was once seen as a future captaincy choice. After winning IPL 2024, many feel that he can still be integrated into the leadership group. He has the age and skills to do that. The management could test this by giving him the captaincy in the upcoming tournament. Hence, he is on this list.
4) Rishabh Pant
Pant is also one of the players who should be appointed as captains for the Duleep Trophy 2024. Pant is definitely in the picture of becoming a future test skipper. Hence, it is ideal that he gets to lead one of the squads. Pant is an important feature of the Test squad and it is important that he gets some match practice in the longer format.
