India C Trail India A Despite Porel's Heroics

India C's batting lineup faltered against India A's bowling attack on day two of their four-day match in Anantapur. Despite a valiant effort from Abishek Porel, India C ended the day trailing by 81 runs.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Rajat Patidar, and Ishan Kishan all failed to make significant contributions, leaving India C in a precarious position. However, Porel, who has been in impressive form this season, played a crucial role in reviving the innings. He scored a gritty 82 off 113 deliveries, providing much-needed stability to the batting order.

Pulkit Narang, who is seeking to establish himself as a first-class cricketer, will be crucial for India C's hopes of taking the lead on Saturday. He is currently on 99 first-class wickets and will be eager to reach the milestone.

Earlier, India A's lower order provided a late boost to their first-innings total. Avesh Khan struck an unbeaten 51, while Prasidh Krishna contributed 34. Shashwat Rawat's century on the opening day had laid the foundation for India A's score of 297.

Vijaykumar Vyshak, who has caught the attention of selectors, impressed with the ball for India C. He claimed four wickets for 51 runs, including two of the three remaining wickets on day two. Anshul Kamboj, who had taken eight wickets in the previous game, finished with 3 for 49.
