India A vs Australia A: KL Rahul showed good form as he returned to cricket after 45 days.

Rahul brought up his century with a boundary off Corey Rocchiccioli off the 136th ball he faced. What made this century special was that he had to retire hurt on Thursday while he was on 74*. This is Rahul’s 22nd First-Class hundred.

He came back on Friday and got to the milestone. He had Sai Sudarshan for company at the other end. It is an important knock as India-A are chasing a mammoth 412 to win. It was a chanceless knock by the Test opener. In his first outing in this game, all he could manage was a 24-ball 11 before being caught behind off Will Sutherland.

These are good signs from an Indian point of view as they will take on West Indies in a few days time at home.

Rahul-Sudarshan Goin For Win

Looks like India-A is going for a win. The hosts are chasing 412 and are already 246 for three. Sudarshan is on 85* at the time of filing the copy. He looks good to get a hundred himself. India-A still need 166 to win. Both Rahul and Sudarshan are in the Test side and hence these runs will only boost their confidence.
