India A Lose Five Wickets For Just 35 Runs
Openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh provided India A with a promising start, putting together an 83-run partnership. However, the innings soon took a dramatic turn as the team lost five wickets for just 35 runs.
Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad managed 33 runs, while Devdutt Padikkal endured a disappointing outing, scoring only two before being dismissed. Gaikwad’s dismissal at 159 further dented India’s hopes of rebuilding the innings after the middle-order collapse.
