For the second day in a row, Musheer Khan held centrestage at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, falling 19 short of a second first-class double-century, but it wasn’t all about only the 19-year-old on Friday.
Navdeep Saini, who helped himself to his highest score, struck twice with the ball to peg India ‘A’ back, before Riyan Parag and KL Rahul took Shubman Gill’s side to 134 for two at stumps on Day Two of their Duleep Trophy tie against India ‘B’. This, after the latter had extended their overnight 202 for seven to a competitive 321 on a surface that continued to offer encouragement to the faster bowlers.
