In the opening Duleep Trophy match, Shreyas Iyer’s India D lost to India C despite his scores of 9 and 54. In their second game, after bowling out India A for 290 runs, they struggled with the bat. Iyer was dismissed for a duck while wearing sunglasses, which led to social media trolling. Pacer Khaleel Ahmed shone for India A, taking two wickets in quick succession, including the dismissals of Taide and Shreyas.
