Duleep Trophy: After good performances for India 'A', all eyes on Ishan Kishan who joins India Red for summit clash against 'Green'
FirstpostBengaluru: In-form wicket-keeper-batsman Ishan Kishan would be the cynosure of all eyes when India Red lock horns against India Green in the final of the Duleep Trophy, beginning at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Wednesday. The Red team, led by prolific Gujarat opener Priyank Panchal, has been well served by out-of-favour India batsman Karun Nair, who has a ton and two 90-plus scores while the talented, young Rajasthan batter Mahipal Lomror cracked a ton in the final league encounter against India Green. For India Green, led by Vidarbha’s two-time Ranji Trophy-winning skipper Faiz Fazal, Akshath Reddy has been among runs but others would have to step up if the team has to put up a challenge against a strong India Red side. Teams: India Red: Priyank Panchal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Axar Patel, Mahipal Lomror, Karun Nair, Akshay Wakhare, Varun Aaron, Aditya Sarvate, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, Avesh Khan, Ankit R Kalsi, Sandeep Warrier, Jaydev Unadkat, Ishan Kishan. India Green: Faiz Fazal, Akshath Reddy, Dhruv Shorey, Siddhesh Lad, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Tanveer ul-Haq, Milind Kumar, Priyam Garg, Akshdeep Nath, Ankit Rajpoot, Akshath Reddy, Akshay Wadkar, Rajesh Mohanty, Mayank Markande, Jayant Yadav.
