India A vs Australia A: Border-Gavaskar Trophy is starting from 22nd November. Before this series, alarm bells have rung for Team India, because before the first unofficial Test against Australia-A on Thursday, the Indian innings fell apart like a pack of cards in front of the Australian bowlers. In this match, three Indian batsmen could not even open their account.

In this match, Australia A won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Kangaroo bowlers took full advantage of the wickets which were helpful to the fast bowlers, due to which the Indian batsmen had no luck. India A captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was among the three Indian batsmen to be out on a duck, while Devdutt Padikkal top-scored with 36 runs. Apart from Padikkal, only Navdeep Saini and Sai Sudarshan managed to reach double figures for India A.

– Duck for Ruturaj.
– Duck for Nitish.
– 4 runs for Ishan.
– 7 runs for Easwaran.
– 9 runs for Indrajith.
– 21 runs for Sudarshan.
– 36 runs for Padikkal.
