Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s potential participation in the Duleep Trophy final is uncertain, with head coach Gautam Gambhir set to decide on the player’s availability. The final is scheduled to be played between South Zone and East Zone starting September 6 in Chennai.
Alongside Sooryavanshi, veteran opener KL Rahul, Sri Lanka series hero Devdutt Padikkal, and seasoned pacer Mohammed Siraj have been asked to play for South Zone. The reports indicate that while these players are included in the squad considerations, Sooryavanshi’s final inclusion depends on Gambhir’s assessment.
The difference between the outlets is mainly in emphasis: one report frames the uncertainty around Sooryavanshi and notes Gambhir’s decision as the determining factor, while the other reiterates the same point with slightly more direct attribution to Gambhir. Both accounts agree on the match venue, the start date, the zones involved, and the other players contacted for South Zone.
