India A Keep Chase Alive As K.L. Rahul And Sai Sudharsan Hold Fort
Sai Sudharsan: A collective bowling performance followed by a fluent 74 from K.L. Rahul kept India 'A' in the hunt for an improbable chase of 412 against Australia 'A' on the third day of the unofficial Test at BRSABV, Lucknow. The hosts closed the day at 169 for 2, needing 243 more runs with eight wickets in hand, as Sai Sudharsan (44 not out) and nightwatchman Manav Suthar held firm at stumps.
Rahul, opening the innings, set the tone with a confident half-century, adding 85 runs for the first wicket with N. Jagadeesan (36). The stand was broken when Todd Murphy trapped Jagadeesan, before later dismissing Devdutt Padikkal (5) after Rahul had retired hurt in the final session. Sudharsan, steady at the other end, looked set for his second fifty of the match.
Earlier, Australia 'A' resumed at 16 for 3 but slipped quickly to 17 for 4 before captain Nathan McSweeney and Josh Philippe fought back. The pair added 90 runs, with Philippe counterattacking on his way to a 48-ball 50.
