VVS Laxman Congratulates India 'A' For Their ‘stunning’ Win Against Australia 'A'
Chasing a 400+ total, KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan scored brilliant centuries under pressure as India 'A' won the game by five wickets on the final day of the Test.
Laxman shared a group photo of the team along with their support staff on X and praised the boys on their emphatic win, as he wrote:
“Congratulations to the India 'A' men’s team on a stunning win in the 2nd Multi-Day game against Australia 'A', clinching the series! Coming from behind to chase 400+ in the 4th innings on a challenging wicket is a true testament to the team’s mental strength and resilience. Wishing the team all the best for the upcoming One-Dayers!”
Australia started strongly as skipper Nathan McSweeney, Jack Edwards, and Todd Murphy’s contributions helped the side reach 420/10 in the first innings. Manav Suthar stood out among Indian bowlers with a five-wicket haul, recording 5/107 in 32 overs.
However, only Sudharsan registered a decent score as the Indian side stepped out to bat next. Henry Thornton led the attack for Australia 'A' with his four-wicket haul as India 'A' were all out for 194, handing the opposition a 226-run lead.
The Indian bowlers then kept the visitors in check as Australia 'A' could add only 185 more runs to their total, thereby handing India 'A' a 411-run target to chase.
