Duleep Trophy highlights, 2nd Round Day 4: India A beats India D by 186 runs; India C vs India B match drawn

Riyan Parag takes the final of V Kaverappa. India A wins the match by 186 runs. A massive win for the Mayank Agarwal-led side. 

Harshit Rana decided to free his arms and ended up getting caught. Tanush Kotian picks his fourth wicket. Rana falls for 24 off 27 balls which includes two fours and a six. 

Tanush Kotian traps Saurabh Kumar in front. He falls for 22 off 46 balls. Just two more wickets left for India A to wrap up this game. 

The players have shaken hands. India B ends at 128/4. India C will take three points as it had the first innings while India B will get one point. 

Ricky Bhui’s wicket should be curtains down for India D, but Saurabh Kumar has hit a couple of boundaries to keep the run flow going. 

Ricky Bhui is caught at slip! A terrific innings comes to an end as he walks back after scoring 113 off 195 balls. Tanush Kotian gets the big fish. Umpires did check with the third umpire if the catch was clean before declaring him out. 

And another one goes! This time its Gaikwad who goes for 62. Rahul Chahar gets him out LBW. 

India C loses two wickets in quick succession. Rajat Patidar falls for 42. Musheer Khan traps him front. Ishan Kishan was then cleaned up by Rahul Chahar for 1. 

Ricky Bhui is on a roll. Continues to find the fence as India D crosses 250-run mark. It now needs 235 runs more to win. 

Saransh Jain tries to play on on-side but the edge carried to first slip off Tanush Kotian’s delivery. India D six down. Saurabh Kumar joins Bhui. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad reaches his half-century as he continues to plunder more runs. India C also goes past 100. 

100 up for Ricky Bhui! He played against the turn, over mid-off to get a boundary which takes him to 101 off 170. He has proved to be the mainstay for India D in this innings.

Shams Mulani gets rid of Samson! Bowls from around the wicket, gets good drift for the right-hander as Samson nicks it behind and Kushagra does a good job to complete the catch. Samson falls for 40. Saransh Jain comes in. 

Gaikwad and Patidar take India C near 100. They lead by 274 runs at the moment, is the declaration coming soon?

Samson takes on Kotian! First a glorious drive at covers then he stepped out to launch the ball over cow’s corner for a big six. 

200 on the board for India D. Samson and Bhui have continued with confidence. India D needs another 288 to win. 

Rajat Patidar and Gaikwad also resume their innings in the India C vs India B match. 

Sanju Samson and Ricky Bhui walk back in the middle for India D. Tanush Kotian will bowl the first over post lunch. 

India C 63/1 vs India B with both Patidar and Gaikwad into their 20s. 

India D 190/4 vs India A - Ricky Bhui and Samson are attacking. While Bhui is on 85, Samson on 17. 

Sanju Samson is on fire! Two sixes and a four already for him. He’s on 16 off 18 balls right now. India D needs 301 runs to win. 

Three boundaries in last five minutes as India C crosses the 50-run mark. Rajat Patidar moves into his 20s with four boundaries to his name. 

“Four boundaries in two overs. Rajat Patidar hits three fours off a Navdeep Saini over - a cover drive, two square drives. In the next over, Ruturaj Gaikwad cuts Sai Kishore for a four behind square.”

-S. Prasanna Venkatesan from the ground fills in with details. 

Ricky Bhui is looking in great touch today. Reading the spinners extremely well. Sanju Samson too is off the mark with a four. 

Shreyas Iyer is cleaned up by Shams Mulani. He swung his bat to pull the half-tracker but the ball remained low and completely missed it. 

Shreyas Iyer has now moved into his 40s. The scoring rate has been brilliant for India D and gives a hint that it does want to keep the target in sight. Still 331 runs needed though. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajat Patidar are taking their time to score runs. India C’s lead is now 218 runs. 

Shreyas Iyer in his attacking groove today. He’s raced into his 20s with a glorious lofted straight drive for four. 

Sai Sudharsan misses his drive off Mukesh Kumar to get his off-stump uprooted. 

Shreyas Iyer has stabilised alongside Ricky Bhui after Yash Dubey’s wicket. The 488-run target for India D is still a far cry. Time for a drinks break. 

The intent of both Gaikwad and Sudharsan is quite clear, they are in for the attack here. Sudharsan hit two while Gaikwad had one boundary inside the first three overs. India C looks to pile on the misery of India B. 

Sai Sudharsan and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad open for India C. 

Padikkal falls! Mulani gets a sharp bite off the pitch as he tosses up the ball, lures Padikkal to play an expansive drive but the ball goes through his defence, knocking the leg stump. A brilliant wicket for Mulani. 

An unfortunate end to Yash Dubey’s innings after he was run out by Shams Mulani on 37. The 100-run stand for the second wicket comes to an end with this wicket. Devdutt Padikkal is the new batter in the middle. 

Abhimanyu Easwaran carries the bat, he is unbeaten on 157 off 286 deliveries. India B still conceded a 193-run lead to India C, a gritty knock nonetheless from the skipper. 

Mukesh Kumar is caught by Sai Sudharsan at short leg off Kamboj, who finishes with figures of eight for 69!

-S. Prasanna Venkatesan

Mukesh Kumar edges Vyshak for a four through the slips. Doesn’t carry to the first slip.

-S. Prasanna Venkatesan

Some free-flowing shots from Yash Dubey make sure the scoreboard moves. Ricky Bhui drives the full-length ball down the ground to complete his attacking fifty in 69 balls.

Kamboj gets his seventh scalp! This time he sends Navdeep Saini back for a 10-ball duck. Mukesh Kumar is the last man in. 

Vyshak’s delivery hits Easwaran on his right leg. Physio comes out and checks around the knee area. Easwaran is fine and resumes batting.

-S. Prasanna Venkatesan

Khaleel and Prasidh Krishna have had a good 20 minutes with the ball. Prasidh was able to beat both Ricky Bhui and Dubey on at least three occasions. 

Abhimanyu Easwaran hits back-to-back boundaries to get to 150! He needs to accelerate quickly now since only two wickets are left in this innings. 

Abhimanyu Easwaran brings up his 150 with back-to-back fours on the second over off Vyshak. He cuts for a four to the sweeper boundary and inside edges for a four past the keeper.

-S. Prasanna Venkatesan

All it took Anshul Kamboj just two deliveries to get his first strike of the day. He clean-bowled Rahul Chahar, giving the eighth blow to India B. 

Navdeep Saini walks out. 

Meanwhile, all set at the RDT-B Stadium for the India B vs India C match as well. Skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran and Rahul Chahar resume their batting. 

Khaleel Ahmed to start the proceedings from around the wicket. Yash Dubey has the strike while Ricky Bhui is on the non-striker’s end.
