In the Duleep Trophy, a match is being played between India A and India D in Anantapur. India A opener Pratham Singh, who replaced Shubman Gill on the third day of the match, has scored a century in his very first match. He played an innings of 122 runs in 189 balls. During this, he hit 1 six and 12 fours. Thanks to his innings, India A has crossed the 250-run mark and has come into a strong position. Pratham, who played such a tremendous innings, got Rs 20 lakh during the 2022 mega auction. Kolkata Knight Riders bought him at the base price and included him in their team.

Failed in the first innings, shone in the second

Shubman Gill captained India A in the first match, where the team had to face defeat.

After being selected for the Bangladesh Test series, he had to go to Team India's camp. After this, the captaincy of the team was given to Mayank Agarwal. At the same time, Pratham Singh was given a chance in place of Gill. He could not do much in the first innings. He was out after scoring just 7 runs, but in the second innings he batted brilliantly and scored a century. He scored a century by hitting 3 consecutive boundaries, which included 1 six and 2 fours.
