AI-generated summary
India A ended the first day of their Unofficial Test against Sri Lanka A at a commanding 333/4, thanks to a brilliant 132 by Sai Sudharsan and an unbeaten 116-run stand between captain Dhruv Jurel (68*) and Shaik Rasheed (53*).
Sudharsan anchored the Indian innings with a patient 132 off 175 balls, featuring 19 boundaries, before falling to Chamika Gunasekara. His knock, combined with crucial partnerships, set the stage for Jurel and Rasheed’s dominating unbeaten stand that guided India A past 300.
Earlier, Sudharsan shared an 82-run opening stand with Ayush Pandey (25) and later a 85-run third-wicket partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad (22) to steady the innings after brief slumps. Sri Lanka A’s bowling was led by Dilum Sudeera’s 2/48, but the hosts couldn’t break through once Jurel and Rasheed took charge.
The day began with India A choosing to bat, and despite a cautious start, Sudharsan’s century and the late partnership ensured a strong position. Sri Lanka A will need a resilient batting effort in response.
