KL Rahul's Grit Highlights Challenging Duleep Trophy Clash

KL Rahul's determination in scoring fifty runs wasn't enough to save India A from a 76-run loss against India B on the final day of the Duleep Trophy. Yash Dayal's three-wicket haul led India B's pacers in dismantling India A's batting lineup, culminating in a second-innings collapse for 198 runs.

KL Rahul's determination, which helped him score a steady fifty, did not resonate among his teammates as India B pacers, led by Yash Dayal, secured a 76-run victory over India A on the fourth and final day of their Duleep Trophy match on Sunday.

Chasing 275, India A's second innings crumbled to 198, with left-arm seamer Dayal (3/50), supported by Mukesh Kumar (2/50) and Navdeep Saini (2/41), leading the charge.

Rahul top-scored for India A with 51 runs. Earlier in the day, India B managed a second-innings total of 184, setting an overall lead of 274. Despite Rahul's resilience, India A's batting lineup succumbed to the persistent effort of India B's bowlers, culminating in a collapse that saw the team bow out at 198, far short of the target.
