· Sports · Times of India, ESPNCricinfo
Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan rebuilt India A's innings with an unbeaten 96-run partnership after KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal were dismissed cheaply in Lincoln on October 25, 2026. India A reached 106/2 at stumps, trailing New Zealand A by 98 runs after a 204-run first-innings deficit. Padikkal scored 56 not out off 89 balls while Sudharsan contributed 39 off 104 balls to steady the chase. The pair weathered early pressure and added 25 runs in the final 10 overs without losing a wicket to end the day on a positive note.
Why it matters
Padikkal and Sudharsan's rescue ensures India A avoids an innings collapse and keeps their hopes alive in the unofficial Test, directly impacting their batting depth ahead of the next day's play.
