While akash

Seamers Yash Dayal: Seamers Yash Dayal, Mukesh Kumar and Navdeep Saini took seven wickets collectively to help India B register a convincing 76-run win over India A in the Duleep Trophy first round match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.

In the morning, probing spells from Akash Deep and Khaleel Ahmed meant the last four wickets of India B could only add 34 runs, as they were bowled out for 184 in 42 overs. While Akash finished with 5-56 and took his match haul to nine wickets, Khaleel ended up with 3-69 against his name, as India A were given a challenging target of 275.

In the chase, India A showed positive intent as Riyan Parag played superb shots off fast bowlers while making 31 runs off just 18 balls. But left-arm pacer Dayal dismissed him, Mayank Agarwal and Dhruv Jurel in a brilliant new-ball spell to push India A on the backfoot.
