Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Rajat Patidar, and Ishan Kishan were all left out of a chance to deliver big blows as India C was forced to duel with India A for first-inning glory in Anantapur.
Day two ended with India C at 216 for 7, appearing in a stronger position thanks to an uninterrupted 49-run partnership between Vijaykumar Vyshak and Pulkit Narang.
Aaqib Khan, a 20-year-old seamer from Uttar Pradesh, did most of the damage. After making his first change, he dismissed Gaikwad (17), Sudharsan (17), and Patidar (first-ball duck).
Then, continuing his breakout year, Abishek Porel brought the innings back to life.
One of the standout players for the Delhi Capitals in the 2024 Indian Premier League, Porel, scored 82 runs off 113 balls to build on his previous game’s crucial 35-run haul that helped his team win a low-scoring thriller.
On Saturday, Narang, who is thirty years old and trying to make up for lost time as a first-class cricketer, will try to put his team ahead with his third half-century. Narang is presently on 99 first-class wickets. Narang pitches offspin.
Earlier, Avesh Khan‘s lower-order fireworks helped India A extend their first-inning score from the overnight 224 for 7 to 297. It was Khan’s second first-class fifty, as he struck an undefeated 51. Prasidh Krishna, who scored 34, provided him with strong support. Shashwat Rawat’s 124 had contributed the most on the first day of the event.
