How UP's pacer beat Mukesh-Avesh, Arshdeep-Khalil, got surprise entry in Team India

In the last 6 months, most of the Indian players have played only one first class match. Duleep Trophy started on 5th September. The match between India C and India D ended on Saturday. A day later, the result of the match between India A and India B came. Immediately after this match, the Indian selectors announced Team India. It is clear that the selectors have given importance to the performance in Duleep Trophy.

The selectors have selected 4 fast bowlers in the Indian team. Out of these, two fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj have been selected on the basis of their previous performance. The remaining two fast bowlers have got a place on the basis of their performance in the Duleep Trophy. For example, Akash Deep took 9 wickets while playing for India A. He dismissed 4 batsmen in the first innings and 5 in the second innings. There is no doubt that Akash Deep had an excellent performance in the Duleep Trophy and he was selected in Team India.

Yash Dayal, playing for India B, took 4 wickets against India A. He dismissed Riyan Parag in the first innings. After this, he took the wickets of Mayank Agarwal, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel in the second innings. In this match, Mukesh Kumar and Navdeep Saini of his own team took 5-5 wickets. Navdeep Saini also played an invaluable innings of 56 runs. Then why did these two lag behind Yash Dayal, this question is being asked by many cricket fans.

The answer is clear. The Indian selectors wanted to keep a left-arm fast bowler in the team. For this, they had three options – Khaleel Ahmed, Yash Dayal and Arshdeep Singh. Khaleel Ahmed took one wicket more than Yash Dayal in the match, but Musheer Khan and Navdeep Saini's partnership against him failed. Musheer and Saini made a partnership of 205 runs for the 8th wicket, which Khaleel Ahmed, Akash Deep and Avesh Khan could not break. Akash Deep hid this failure to a great extent by taking 9 wickets in the match, but Khaleel could not do so. Arshdeep Singh, who came from India D, could take only two wickets in the match.

When 5 consecutive sixes were hit in one over
Yash Dayal, born in Prayagraj (Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, came into the limelight after conceding 5 consecutive sixes in an over in IPL 2023. After this poor performance, Gujarat Titans dropped him from the team. After this, Royal Challengers Bangalore included Yash Dayal in their team. Yash Dayal bowled well for RCB in IPL 2024.

Indian Squad (for first Test): Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Jaspreet Bumrah and Yash Dayal.
