In a recent interview, former India batsman and wicketkeeper Vijay Dahiya emphasised the value of domestic cricket by applauding the top players for participating in the Duleep Trophy.
The Duleep Trophy’s 2024 competition began this week. A number of well-known figures in Indian cricket are participating in the historic competition following the BCCI’s (Board of Control for Cricket in India) advice to all players to be available for domestic cricket matches unless they are injured.
“The game greatly benefits from domestic events. I can see why players would want to miss games if they had a busy schedule, but the Duleep Trophy this year was a preseason event. The value of the runs is increased when they are against quality bowlers when evaluating a rookie player entering the team. The level of skill competing for this year’s Duleep Trophy pleases me, Dahiya stated.
Big names in Indian cricket are participating in the Duleep Trophy, including Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Axar Patel, and many others.
For the Delhi Premier League (DPL) inaugural season, Purani Dilli-6 is led by Dahiya as their head coach. After the tournament’s round-robin stage, his squad placed third on the points chart. They will try to exact revenge in the semi-finals after losing to South Delhi Superstarz in the league stage.
According to Vijay Dahiya, the loss against South Delhi will not have much of an impact on the elimination match.
It is crucial to have confidence, particularly when you are trying to make a comeback. You must acknowledge that the tournament moves quickly and that you will lose games; ultimately, it matters how many you win. It’s crucial to maintain confidence not only in times of loss but also in times of victory. He said, “The support staff made an effort to create a setting that would boost confidence and allow them to give their best effort.
“I don’t think so. We made it to the top four, which was the tournament’s primary goal. Both of us are in the elimination phase, and it’s an elimination match for them.

We have to counter them since they have two batters who have been hitting quite effectively. We must remove Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya from the team as soon as possible since they are the key members of their team, Dahiya said.
