Rural Development Trust Stadium: Mumbai’s all-round duo of Tanush Kotian and Shams Mulani picked seven wickets collectively as India A beat India D by 186 runs to register a massive win in the second round of Duleep Trophy at the Rural Development Trust Stadium ‘A’ on Sunday.

On the final day of the game, off-spinner Kotian picked four wickets while left-arm spinner took three scalps to ensure India A won with a session to spare by bowling out India D for 301. Chasing 488 was always improbable for India D, and none of the batters gave support to Ricky Bhui, who waged a lone batter with a resolute 113.

Resuming from 62/1 in 19 overs, Bhui and Yash Dubey were free-flowing in their boundaries, as the former reached his half-century in 69 balls. But the 100-run stand for the second wicket ended when Dubey was run out by Mulani for 37. In his next over, Mulani struck by enticing Devdutt Padikkal to go for a drive and took out his leg-stump.
