Duleep Trophy 2024: Jagadeesan and Easwaran slam fifties after Suthar’s 82 takes India C to 525

Anantapur: Openers N Jagadeesan and Abhimanyu Easwaran slammed 1/2-centuries as India B ended day two of their Duleep Trophy round two matches on 124/zero on the Rural Development Believe Stadium ‘B’ on Friday.

Within the morning, resuming from 357/5, after Ishan Kishan made a fine 111, while Baba Indrajith chipped in with a solid seventy eight, India C eventually made 525 in their first innings, with left-arm spinner Manav Suthar scoring 82 runs, laced with eleven fours and three sixes.

India C skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad brought up his fifty but became castled by pacer Mukesh Kumar, who picked up his fourth wicket. Suthar, who hit his fourth top quality 1/2-century, and Mayank Markande (17 runs) got India C to go past the 400-run mark sooner than the latter became bowled by %-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. Suthar then joined forces with Anshul Kamboj (38 off 27 balls) to stitch a rapid fifty five-run stand.

Kamboj smashed 5 boundaries and two maximums in his important cameo, sooner than being castled by leg-spinner Rahul Chahar. Vyshak Vijaykumar (12) and Sandeep Warrier (eleven now no longer out) hung around to stitch partnerships of 28 and 36 respectively with Suthar. But Chahar came back to push aside Vyshak and had Suthar castled to accomplish India C’s innings in 124.1 overs.

In reply, India B became positive with the bat as Easwaran and Jagadeesan were solid in making runs and getting boundaries. While Easwaran, the India B skipper, hit four boundaries and a six in his unbeaten 51 off Ninety one balls, Jagadeesan hit eight boundaries to accomplish the day on Sixty seven now no longer out off 126 balls in a productive day for India B.
