K Rahul failed, Dhruv Jurel passed, rest of the batsmen broke their hopes

New Delhi In the second unofficial Test being played in Melbourne, India A’s batsmen were once again exposed in front of pace and bounce. Even an experienced batsman like K Rahul was seen struggling. The situation was such that by lunch the top 5 batsmen of India A had returned to the pavilion. Even after lunch nothing changed and the entire team was all out in 57.1 overs.

After losing the toss and coming to bat first, India A did not have a good start. KL Rahul came out to start the innings with Abhimanyu Easwaran and both the batsmen soon returned to the pavilion. Michael Neser started the bowling and spoiled the start of the team by dismissing Easwaran on the third ball and Sai Sudarshan on the fourth ball. At one time, 4 batsmen of the team had returned to the pavilion for just 11 runs. Except Dhruv Jurel, all the batsmen bowed before the bounce of Neser’s balls and the entire team was out on 161.

The rest of the batsmen of the team, be it Sai Sudarshan, who scored a century in the last match, or Padikkal, were seen struggling in Melbourne. Nitish Reddy is being seen as an all-rounder but he/she too was helpless in front of pace and bounce. Australia A fast bowler Michael Neser took 2 wickets in two consecutive balls in the first over. he/she showed the way to the pavilion to Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sai Sudarshan and Rituraj Gaikwad in the first spell.

Jurel played a trouble-shooting innings

K Rahul may have been a flop, but wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel, who was included in the playing-11 in place of Ishan Kishan, batted against the fast bowling and bounce of Australia A fast bowlers.
