Bengaluru, Sep 6 (Reporter) In a dramatic twist of fate, Navdeep Saini’s crucial dismissal of Shubman Gill just before tea handed India B a significant advantage in their contest against India A on Day 2 of the Duleep Trophy at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. Saini, who had already demonstrated his prowess with the bat by scoring a valuable fifty, stepped up with the ball to break the promising opening partnership between Gill and Mayank Agarwal. Gill’s departure at 57/1 marks a pivotal moment, shifting the momentum firmly in India B’s favor. With India A now facing the daunting task of chasing 264 runs with just 39 overs left in the day, the stage is set for a gripping finish. The morning session belonged to India B, who established a commanding position with a standout performance from Musheer Khan. His brilliant 181 anchored India B’s innings, propelling them to a formidable total of 321. Musheer's innings was a masterclass in batting under pressure, characterized by elegant drives, crisp cuts, powerful pulls, and dynamic slog sweeps. Musheer's ability to overturn two umpiring decisions with the Decision Review System (DRS) only added to his remarkable performance. Saini, who contributed a gritty 56 runs off 144 balls, played a crucial role in stabilizing the innings alongside Khan. Their 205-run partnership for the eighth wicket was instrumental in lifting India B from a precarious 94 for 7. Saini’s steadfast resistance and occasional boundaries were vital in pushing the total to a challenging level. Despite a valiant effort from India A’s bowlers, led by Akash Deep with four wickets, the team struggled to contain the burgeoning total. Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan chipped in with two wickets each, while Kuldeep Yadav's performance was somewhat lackluster. India B’s innings came to an end when Akash Deep dismissed Saini, caught by Riyan Parag at third man. With the innings closing at 321 all out, India A now faces the formidable task of chasing down the total under challenging conditions. As the match heads into its final phase, the chase promises to be a thrilling contest. India A must rise to the challenge, navigating both the psychological and technical demands posed by the sizeable target and the dynamic pitch conditions. The final session is poised for an exhilarating conclusion, with every run and delivery carrying significant weight in this high-stakes battle...////...
