In a thrilling display of batting, India A and Railways batter Pratham Singh reached a century in the ongoing Duleep Trophy match between India A and India D at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur. The memorable moment occurred during the 49th over on Saturday, September 14, when Pratham, on 88, launched a successful attack on India D’s bowler Vidwath Kaverappa.
Facing Kaverappa, Pratham kickstarted the over with a towering six off the first ball. Despite two subsequent dot balls, the batter maintained his composure and followed up with two consecutive boundaries, bringing up his first Duleep Trophy century and his second first-class hundred.
Pratham Singh was brought into the India A squad as a replacement for Shubman Gill, who left the tournament and had been the team’s captain. His aggressive yet controlled approach to Kaverappa’s bowling demonstrated his capability to fill big shoes, showcasing a critical performance for India A in this high-stakes encounter.
Singh’s century marked a pivotal moment in the match, underlining his potential as a key player in India’s domestic circuit and boosting his team’s chances in the Duleep Trophy tournament.
