1st unofficial Test: Patidar smashes unbeaten 170, Easwaran also scores ton as India A end Day 3 on 492/4
India A led by 92 runs in the first innings with a day's play left. Easwaran, whose attacking batting on second evening set the tone, laid the platform with a chiselled 132 off 194 balls before Patidar took it upon himself to punish the New Zealand attack. Young N T Tilak Varma, who had impressed one and all in T20s for Mumbai Indians, looked equally adept while playing the traditional format as he smashed his way to an unbeaten 82 during an unbroken stand of 167 for the fifth wicket with Patidar.
