India A chase 412 to beat Australia A

India A completed a record fourth-innings chase of 412 to beat Australia A by five wickets in Lucknow, sealing the unofficial Test series 1-0. KL Rahul, who had retired hurt on Day 3 at 74, returned to steer the chase with an unbeaten 176 off 216 balls (16 fours, 4 sixes). B Sai Sudharsan scored 100 off 172 balls and Dhruv Jurel added a quickfire 56 as key partnerships blunted the Australian attack. India A’s bowlers earlier dismissed Australia A for 185 in the second innings, with Gurnoor Brar, Manav Suthar and Mohammed Siraj among the wicket-takers after Australia had posted 420 in their first innings. The 412 chase is the highest by any 'A' side in history and provides a major morale and fitness boost for India's red-ball bench ahead of the West Indies Tests.
