Duleep Trophy Final: Surya Kumar Yadav Declared Fit to Play
Surya Kumar Yadav is fit to play the final round of the Duleep Trophy 2024.
The Mumbai batter, who missed the semi-final due to a quadriceps niggle, has recovered in time for the summit clash against South Zone, starting on September 8.
Yadav's return is a major boost for West Zone as they aim to win their first Duleep Trophy title since 2012-13.
The 32-year-old is in excellent form this season, having scored 600 runs in five matches at an average of 100.00, including two centuries and three half-centuries.
Yadav's inclusion in the playing XI will strengthen West Zone's batting lineup, which also includes skipper Priyank Panchal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sarfaraz Khan.
South Zone, on the other hand, will be looking to win their second Duleep Trophy title in a row.
They have a strong team led by Hanuma Vihari, who has scored 395 runs in the tournament so far, including a century and two fifties.
Other key players for South Zone include Mayank Agarwal, Baba Aparajith, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
The final round of the Duleep Trophy 2024 will be played at the SNR College Cricket Ground in Coimbatore from September 8 to 12.
