Despite challenging conditions and a strong bowling display led by India C\u2019s Anshul Kamboj, Easwaran held firm, guiding his team through tough phases with a well-paced century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reflecting on the match, Easwaran acknowledged the enormity of the task. \"This was quite an important match for me and my team. With such a large target of 525 to chase, we knew the depth in our batting gave us a chance. The plan was simple \u2013 if two or three of us could form solid partnerships and each score a hundred, we were confident we could reach the target.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He added, \"My personal target was to stay in front of the wicket as long as I could without getting out. Additionally, I focused on gathering as much information on the bowlers so I could share it with my teammates, ensuring we were all on the same page. Anshul Kamboj bowled really well, but I\u2019ve gained a lot of confidence from this innings.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Easwaran's masterclass marked the first time in 21 years a player has achieved such a feat in the Duleep Trophy. However, the India B-India C game in the Duleep Trophy second round ended in a draw at the Rural Development Trust Stadium \u2018B\u2019 on Sunday. With this result, India C got three points due to taking a first-innings lead and remains on top of the standings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, India B\u2019s opening partnership, while crossing 100, couldn\u2019t yield the multiple centuries Easwaran had hoped for, putting more pressure on him to anchor the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Easwaran's masterclass marked the first time in 21 years a player has achieved such a feat in the Duleep Trophy.
