Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's knee injury has disturbed the team combination and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not happy about it. "We are not happy with Jadeja's injury.

We are not happy with this action of Jadeja," a source told ANI.
Skipper Priyank Panchal's dogged 87 and a fighting unbeaten 74 by keeper Kona Srikar Bharat took India A to 229 for six on the second day of the rain-hit second unofficial Test against New Zealand. After the first day's play was called off due to rain, the truncated second day saw 66 overs being bowled, and most of the top and middle-order batters failed to make an impression. Skipper Panchal's knock came off 148 balls, with 12 fours and two sixes, while Bharat's unbeaten knock saw him face 104 balls while hitting 10 boundaries.
On a comeback trail, Ajinkya Rahane and Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered double centuries as West Zone put a pedestrian North East Zone attack to the sword by amassing 590 for two in their Duleep Trophy quarter-final in Chennai on Friday. Sent into bat, Rahane (207 batting) and Jaiswal (228) toyed with the North East bowling line-up and added 333 runs for the second wicket. The classy Rahane, who has played many a memorable knock in the Test arena, seemed to enjoy the hit in the middle as he feasted on the North East bowling. Not known to be a six hitter, Rahane sent six over the rope, apart from his 22 fours to stamp his authority on the second day.

In the 67th over, which was bowled by Ed Barnard, Gill was LBW out and shown the way to the pavilion. His dismissal came as a big shock for all the viewers, as everyone was eagerly waiting for a ton.
