KL Rahul made a solid 74 before retiring hurt as India remained on course to chase a formidable 412-run target set by Australia ‘A’ on Day Three of the second unofficial Test here on Thursday.
Resuming the day at 16-3, Australia ‘A’ were all out for 185 in their second innings. It was a much-improved bowling performance from India ‘A’, who had allowed the opposition to score 420 in the first innings.
At stumps, India ‘A’ were 169-2, needing another 243 runs for victory. Before heading back to the dressing room, Rahul warmed up nicely for the series opener against the West Indies next week. His innings included nine fours.

alongside Rahul.
Sai Sudharsan (44) and Manav Suthar (1 batting) were in the middle when stumps were drawn. Off-spinner Todd Murphy took both the wickets to fall in India ‘A’ second innings. First to depart was Jagadeessan before Devdutt Padikkal, who made a comeback to the Test side, fell cheaply.
Earlier in the day, Australia A were bowled out in 46.5 overs with Gurnoor Brar and Suthar sharing three wickets each.
