Duleep Trophy Commentators List: Complete Panel and Presenters

The Duleep Trophy 2026-27 began on August 23 as the opening tournament of India’s domestic first-class season and is now into its semi-final stage. The competition features six zonal teams, North, South, East, West, Central and North East Zone, in a knockout format. Defending champions Central Zone and last season’s runners-up South Zone entered directly in the semi-finals.

The semi-finals started on August 30 in Bengaluru, with Central Zone facing East Zone and South Zone taking on North Zone. The tournament has already produced one of its biggest talking points in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. After East Zone captain Ishan Kishan suffered an injury, the 15-year-old took over the captaincy and became the youngest player to lead a Duleep Trophy side. He then smashed 92 off 81 balls, becoming the youngest batter to score a fifty in the competition.

The final is scheduled for September 6-10, bringing the tournament to its conclusion. The five-day final has been moved to the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The venue change was made to allow spectators to watch the final in the stadium, as crowd access is restricted at the BCCI COE venue in Bengaluru. Also, some of the best cricket commentators might be on the panel for the final clash.
