KL's Unbeaten 176 Guides India A To Record Chase In Four-day Match Against Aus A
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: KL Rahul marked his return to long-format cricket with an unbeaten 176, steering India A to a five-wicket win over Australia A in the second unofficial Test at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday.
Rahul anchored the innings with his 210-ball knock decorated with 16 fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 83.81 as India A overhauled the target to seal the two-match series 1-0 after the first game ended in a draw. It is the highest successful chase by an 'A' side in history.
Resuming on 169 for 2 in the chase of 412, with 243 runs required for victory, Australia A broke through early on the day, ending nightwatch Manav Suthar, that brought Rahul and Sudharsan back together at the crease after the former had retired hurt on the previous day after sharing a 65-run stand on Day 3.
