The Duleep Trophy, also known as IDFC First Bank Duleep Trophy[1] due to sponsorship reasons, is a domestic first-class cricket competition played in India. Named after former cricketer Duleepsinhji, the competition has largely been contested by teams representing various geographical zones of India since the first edition in 1961–62, with some editions featuring special invitee teams.
There have been a few exceptions to the zonal format, such as the 2002–03 tournament, where five teams were formed based on Ranji Trophy groups, and the four editions held between 2016–17 and 2019–20, when the BCCI selected three teams called India Blue, Red and Green. The upcoming 2024-25 edition will feature four teams named Team A, B, C and D.
