Padikkal Scores 80 as Jaiswal Dismissed for Duck in India A vs New Zealand A Test
In the second unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A at Hagley Oval, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his poor form, dismissed for a four-ball duck by Fraser Sheat. Meanwhile, Devdutt Padikkal scored a solid 80 runs, contributing to a 91-run partnership with Sai Sudharsan. Jaiswal's recent struggles include four ducks in nine innings, raising concerns ahead of India's upcoming Test series against New Zealand starting November 19. Padikkal's performance strengthens his case for selection in the main squad.
