Pacers Prasidh Krishna and left-arm spinner Manav Suthar shared six wickets to put India in a commanding position on day two of the second unofficial Test against Australia A in Melbourne. Australia A were bowled out for 223 in their first innings, conceding a lead of 86 runs.
India had earlier posted 309 in their first innings. Prasidh claimed 3 for 42, while Suthar took 3 for 55. In their second innings, India reached 12 for no loss at stumps, extending the overall lead to 98 runs.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The performance builds pressure on the selectors ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India's pace attack will be without Mohammed Shami. Prasidh's bounce and Suthar's control offer options on Australian tracks, but the real test will come against a full-strength Australia A batting line-up in the second innings. The match at the MCG is a key audition for spots in the Test squad, with the selection committee expected to announce the touring party within a fortnight.
