Duleep Trophy 2024: India A vs India B - Day 2 Match Story

India B's Resilience:
- India B began Day 2 at a precarious position of 202/7 but managed to post a total of 321. The highlight of their innings was an extraordinary knock by Musheer Khan, who scored 181 runs off 373 balls, including a massive six that landed on the roof of the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
- Musheer, who had already shown promise on Day 1, continued his assault on the India A bowlers, eventually setting a new record for the 3rd highest score by a teenager on Duleep Trophy debut.
- *Navdeep Saini* supported Musheer with a valuable 56 off 144 balls. Together, they stitched a 205-run partnership for the 8th wicket, the highest for that wicket in Duleep Trophy history. This partnership helped India B recover from a dire situation.

India A's Reply:
- In response, India A struggled early on, losing openers Shubman Gill (25) and Mayank Agarwal (36) to the impressive bowling of Navdeep Saini, who continued his fine form with the ball.
- The innings was then stabilized by KL Rahul and Riyan Parag. Rahul played a cautious knock, scoring 23 off 80 balls, while Parag added 27 off 49 balls. By the end of Day 2, India A had reached 134/2, still trailing by 187 runs.
