Duleep Trophy: Pacers shine as India B beat India A by 76 runs
Hindustan TimesBengaluru, KL Rahul's gumption, which helped him pile a patient fifty, found no resonance among his colleagues as India B pacers led by Yash Dayal pushed India A to a 76-run defeat on the fourth and final day of their Duleep Trophy match here on Sunday. Duleep Trophy: Pacers shine as India B beat India A by 76 runs Chasing 275, India A were bundled out for 198 in their second innings as left-arm seamer Dayal, with able support from his colleagues Mukesh Kumar and Navdeep Saini, led the India B attack. Parag took on the bowlers and pacer Mukesh bore the brunt of his aggression, getting smoked for two sixes and the second maximum touched the roof of the Chinnaswamy Stadium over the mid-wicket region. Dhruv Jurel poked Dayal well outside off-stump to Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully, as India batters perished to a combination of bowlers' persistence on that channel and their own carelessness.
