India A’s no-show with the bat and a Musheer Khan blockbuster in first innings helped India B garner six points in the opening round match of the Duleep Trophy 2024 played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Chasing 275, India A got bundled out for 198 and lost the match by 76 runs despite resistance from KL Rahul (57) and Kuldeep Yadav (14 off 56) to keep the game alive till third session of the final day’s play.
