Padikkal’s 150, Jurel’s 140 Headline As India-A Play Draw Against Australia A In Lucknow
Devdutt Padikkal: Devdutt Padikkal’s superb 150 powered India A to within a run of Australia A’s first-innings total of 532, but persistent rain on the final day meant the first unofficial Test between the two sides ended in a draw at BRSABV, Lucknow, on Friday.
On an otherwise batting-heavy contest, both teams piled on centuries — four in total across the game — as the bowlers toiled on a flat surface.
Australia A’s charge was set up by centuries from Josh Philippe (123) and Sam Konstas (109), who helped the visitors post 532/6d in their first innings. In reply, India A’s top order gave a steady start with Abhimanyu Easwaran, N. Jagadeesan, and Sai Sudharsan all making half-centuries. But at 222/4, a wobble threatened to undo that good work before Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel took charge.
