Bengaluru, Sep 5 (UNI) As the players headed for tea on a Thursday at Chinaswamy Stadium, India A's bowlers put on a remarkable display of precision and aggression. Their relentless attack dismantled India B's batting lineup, claiming five wickets for just 59 runs in 24 overs, leaving India B reeling at 124-7.
Akash Deep emerged as the standout performer of the session, grabbing two crucial wickets in consecutive deliveries. His pivotal scalp was that of Rishabh Pant, who was dismissed after playing a rash shot—an important breakthrough for India A.
Earlier, Avesh Khan had set the tone with a sharp LBW dismissal of Sarfaraz Khan. Pant's departure was followed by a spectacular delivery from Nitish Reddy, and Washington Sundar, who had been battling hard, was run out after an alert piece of fielding by the bowler.
