Shreyas Iyer's hopes of returning to India's Test cricket team are fading after a lackluster showing in the Duleep Trophy. With young talents like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel rising, Iyer's place is uncertain.

Shreyas Iyer's form woes continued in the ongoing season as he registered his second duck of the tournament during India D's third-round clash against India B.

Shreyas Iyer's dismal run continued but strong performances from the other frontline batters, including Sanju Samson, guided India D to 306 for five on the opening day of their Duleep Trophy match aga

Alongside the first Test between India and Bangladesh in Chennai, domestic cricket is also in progress in the country in Anantapur. The third and final round of matches are currently being played in Duleep Trophy and India's Test hopefuls are not having a great time.

Shreyas Iyer has endured a disappointing run in the Duleep Trophy so far, scoring just 104 runs from four innings for India D. The 29 year-old has also failed to find a spot in the Team India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.

Shreyas Iyer's dismal run continues with another duck, but Sanju Samson's unbeaten 89 puts India D in command against India B in Duleep Trophy.

If Iyer revisits his dismissal he would bang his head into the nearest wall. The surface was at its flattest when he arrived, the sun having dried up the early moisture. But it took just two wicked balls of Washington to spook him.

Shreyas Iyer, picked as India D captain, scored just 104 runs in four Duleep Trophy innings, which included dismissal for a duck and one half-century knock.

The 2024 Duleep Trophy was an opportunity for him to find a place in the Test squad, but the 29-year-old's performance as captain of India D fell short of expectations, managing only 104 runs in four innings. A BCCI official delivered a harsh assessment of Iyer's Test prospects.

Sanju Samson shines after Shreyas Iyer registers another duck on Day 1 against India B while in-form Devdutt Padikkal and Ricky Bhui continued their good runs with impressive fifties for India D.

The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson , Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh will get another opportunity to enhance their red-ball credentials when the final round of Duleep Trophy matches begin here on Thursday.
