Looking to rebound after their round one loss, India D struggled to get off to a strong start as Vidwath Kaverappa excelled with the new ball, dismissing Pratham Singh and Mayank Agarwal.
Despite this early pressure, Riyan Parag, coming in at No. 4, chose an aggressive approach against the bowlers. He struck the game’s first six with remarkable timing, thrilling the fans.
After three dot balls in his initial five, Kaverappa switched to over the wicket and delivered a fuller ball around the off-stump. Parag responded with a lofted drive, sending the ball soaring over a wide long-off.
The shot was perfectly timed, sending the ball to the rooftop of the venue. Parag continued his aggressive innings, hitting five more fours in his 29-ball knock of 37 before being outwitted by Arshdeep Singh.
