Is the Maruti Suzuki Victoris or the Renault Duster cheaper?

Neither, to speak of. The Victoris starts at ₹10.50L and the Duster at ₹10.49L ex-showroom Delhi, which is close enough that the variant you pick matters more than the badge.

Which is more practical, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris or the Renault Duster?

On the figures the makers publish, the Duster swallows 518 litres of luggage against 439. Everything else about living with them, from boot shape to how the back seat actually feels, is a test drive question rather than a spec sheet one.

Which is cheaper as an automatic, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris or the Renault Duster?

The Victoris: its cheapest automatic is ₹13.36L against ₹14.49L for the Duster, ex-showroom Delhi. A gearbox is usually the biggest single step on either ladder, so check what else that trim brings before you read it as the price of the automatic alone.
