Rahul was expected to join the South Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy 2026 final against East Zone. However, Tilak has now confirmed that Rahul will miss the summit clash. Earlier, Ajit Agarkar questioned over India’s full-strength Afghanistan T20I squad.
The South Zone captain was quoted as saying by Revsportz, "KL bhai (Rahul) isn’t there.”
Devdutt Padikkal’s red-hot form gives South Zone big boost
Devdutt Padikkal will be one of the key batters in the South Zone batting line-up. He is coming into the final with excellent form after the Player of the Series performance in Sri Lanka.
Tilak said, “His coming into the side will really strengthen our batting lineup. The kind of form we have seen from him in the last two or three games has been really great, so having him will be a big boost for us.”
Mohammed Siraj will also be available for the Duleep Trophy 2026 final, giving a massive boost to the South Zone. And the captain admitted that the experience of Siraj and Padikkal could be very important in a high-pressure final against the East Zone in Chennai.
South Zone consider off-spinner for final
The South Zone are also thinking about making another important change to their bowling attack. The team is considering playing an off-spinner against the East Zone because their opponents have multiple left-handed batters.
Tilak further shared, “Yes, we are planning to play an off-spinner because they have three left-handers. We will have a look at the wicket tomorrow.”
