Ruturaj Gaikwad Scores Century as India A Reach 277/6 Against Sri Lanka A
In the tri-series one-day match at Dambulla, India A overcame early setbacks to post 277 for six against Sri Lanka A, led by vice-captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's composed century (101 runs off 112 balls). After early wickets, Gaikwad and skipper Tilak Varma (60 runs) added a crucial 150-run partnership. Despite challenging conditions with strong winds and a bowler-friendly pitch, India A's middle and lower order contributed to a competitive total. Gaikwad's innings marked his 21st List A hundred and followed his recent exclusion from India's senior ODI squad.
