India A got off to a solid start with openers Pratham Singh and Mayank Agarwal scoring 18/0 in the first five overs. Their partnership was interrupted when Vidhwath Kaverappa delivered the breakthrough for India D.
The Karnataka pacer then claimed his second wicket, dismissing Pratham Singh cheaply. Riyan Parag came in with an aggressive ‘Bazball’ approach, hitting a couple of boundaries and sixes.
However, his explosive innings was cut short when Arshdeep Singh took his wicket, sparking a lively celebration. On the final ball of the 17th over, Arshdeep delivered a full-length ball outside off-stump.
Parag, attempting to drive, misjudged the line and length. He failed to move forward, swinging hard and away from his body, resulting in a thick outside edge. The ball flew to first slip, where Devdutt Padikkal took a straightforward catch.

As Parag walked off, visibly frustrated and removing his armband in anger, Arshdeep celebrated exuberantly, shouting some choice words. The scene quickly went viral on social media, with fans reacting to Parag’s clear displeasure.
