Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah withdrew from the Duleep Trophy, citing "lack of motivation," according to a report from The Indian Express. The Indian cricket stars were initially set to participate in the domestic competition ahead of their Test series against New Zealand. However, their withdrawal sparked criticism following India’s 0-3 loss to New Zealand, with experts like Sunil Gavaskar suggesting that a lack of match practice hurt India's performance. Ravindra Jadeja, who was pulled out after their withdrawal, impressed with a 10-wicket haul during the series.
