Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is India’s top-ranked Test batter in ICC rankings, will play for West Zone in the 2025 edition of the Duleep Trophy. The left-handed batter will take the field for the Shardul Thakur-led side in their semifinal match at BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground B in Bengaluru from September 4 to 7. In the upcoming season of the premier domestic competition, Jaiswal will have a chance to create history and enter his name in record books.

If Jaiswal, who has scored 536 runs in seven innings of four Duleep Trophy matches played so far for India B and West Zone, manages to score a double century this year, then he will become the first player in the world to score three double centuries in the Duleep Trophy.
