NEW DELHI: In an unexpected development, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has featured in the playing XI of the India C team in the Duleep Trophy's second round, which started on Thursday. His inclusion came as a surprise due to his earlier withdrawal from the tournament because of a groin injury.
The confusion began when Kishan, a regular in India's cricket squad until last year, was initially ruled out of the Duleep Trophy's first round. The BCCI had announced his injury, sustained during the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament, with Sanju Samson named as his replacement in the India D squad.
