Left-arm spinner Manav Suthar bagged five wickets to break the back of Australia ‘A’s batting, as India ‘A’ restricted the visitors to 350 for nine on the opening day of their second four-day unofficial Test here on Tuesday.
Suthar bowled with precision to take wickets at regular intervals and return 28-4-93-5, while pacer Gurnoor Brar took 2-71. India pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna bagged a wicket each.
Dhruv Jurel led India ‘A’ as Shreyas Iyer pulled out from this match, but Siraj and KL Rahul returned to action ahead of the two-Test series at home against the West Indies early next month.
Siraj sent down 13 overs (1-73), while Prasidh was a little more tight with his lines in his 14 overs (1-63) which also included four maidens. Prasidh provided the first breakthrough, dismissing Campbell Kellaway for 9 in the fourth over, but it was Siraj who got the first unofficial Test’s centurion and Australia opener Sam Konstas for 49 (91 balls, 7 fours), caught by N Jagadeesan.
While Konstas missed a personal milestone after a bright start, the other opening batter in fray, Nathan McSweeney produced a resolute effort at No. 3 as he made 74 off 162 balls with 10 fours.
