Although the India vs India A intra-squad match, India’s final warm-up fixture ahead of the inaugural Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, is being played behind closed doors, fans got a glimpse of the action through a video wrap released by the BCCI on its official website.

The Day 1 highlights showcased an energised Indian squad, with newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill urging his teammates to `keep our intensity high`. The footage also captured a standout moment as Ravindra Jadeja launched Washington Sundar’s delivery into the stands with a towering six. Other key glimpses included Shardul Thakur celebrating a wicket and pacer Akash Deep steaming in during a lively spell.

With both bat and ball, India’s top performers made solid impressions. Gill, looking to overcome his modest Test record in England, struck a fluent half-century. He was well-supported by KL Rahul, who continued his fine form with another composed fifty. Rahul had earlier scored 116 and 51 in the second unofficial Test against the England Lions at Northampton, making a strong case for his spot in the XI.
