India A captain Ajinkya Rahane scored a fighting century during the practice match against Australia A. Rahane's knock came after the team was struggling at 40/3 with both openers - Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw, and Hanuma Vihari were back to the pavilion.
Rahane, along with Cheteshwar Pujara, steadied the ship with a 76 run partnership. Pujara, after scoring 54, was caught and India A side once again lost three quick wickets including Wridhiman Saha and R Ashwin.
