The big names like Sarfaraz scored only 9 while Rishabh Pant collected 7 runs. Star batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was the top scorer with 30 as India A pacers, led by Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed, attacked the first two sessions.
The iconic tournament was being closely assessed by Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee ahead of a busy Test calendar where India will take part in 10 matches in the longest format of the game. Musheer Khan has been known for playing big innings as he smashed a century in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha in March after he got a double hundred in the quarter-final against Vidarbha.
Earlier, during the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, Musheer Khan came out as one of the top batters. He made 360 runs in seven matches including a hundred against New Zealand and Ireland. The Mumbai-based batter ended as the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. He also scalped seven wickets at an economy rate of under four runs per over, displaying his all-round skills.
