The first round of Duleep Trophy 2024 matches are over and like Shreyas Iyer, the team led by star Indian batsman Shubman Gill also had to face a crushing defeat. On the last day of this match played in Bengaluru, India-B defeated India-A by 76 runs under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran. This defeat was even more painful for Shubman Gill because he failed with the bat, could not make an impact in captaincy and then on his birthday, he failed on every front and witnessed the team's defeat. On the last day of the match, India A needed 275 runs to win but the entire team collapsed for 194 runs.

On the last day of the match at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday, 8 September, India-B resumed their second innings at 150 runs for 6 wickets. Washington Sundar was at the crease but India-A did not take much time to take the remaining 4 wickets. Fast bowler Akash Deep was the star once again and he took 3 out of these 4 wickets and bundled out India-B for 181 runs. Akash, who took 4 wickets in the first innings, strengthened his claim for the Test series by taking 5 wickets in the second innings as well.
