Ind A Vs Sa A: Rishabh Pant first got injured, then out (Photo-PTI)

Some players of Team India are busy in preparations before the two-match Test series against South Africa. India A's match is going on against South Africa A in Bengaluru where the performance of players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Sai Sudarshan was very poor. Captain Rishabh Pant even got injured before getting out. In the match being played at the National Cricket Center of Excellence, half of the India A team returned to the pavilion for only 86 runs. The top 5 batsmen of the team failed miserably.

Pant-Rahul failed

KL Rahul also came to play in this match. This player seemed to be in good form but he was out after scoring just 19 runs. Abhimanyu Easwaran played even worse, he did not even open the account. Sai Sudarshan also remained in the field for 52 balls and was dismissed after scoring 17 runs. Padikkal could score only 5 runs. Captain Pant tried to bat fast as soon as he came. He hit 3 fours and a six but then in the 26th over, Morecki's ball hit his hands. He started suffering from pain and after this the physio had to come to the field for treatment but this player was out on the very next ball.

The performance of these players is a matter of concern

Let us tell you that except Abhimanyu Easwaran, all four players are going to play in the Test series against South Africa and getting out after batting like this is not a good sign. Well, there is still second innings, if these batsmen score runs then it will be good for them and Team India. Let us tell you that Rishabh Pant is returning from injury. He was injured during the England tour, he is returning to international cricket from the South Africa series, so in such a situation scoring runs is very important for him.
