Young batsman Rinku Singh, who missed the first round of Duleep Trophy, did not have a good comeback and failed miserably in the very first opportunity. Left-handed batsman Rinku was included in India B's squad in place of Rishabh Pant, who went to Team India's camp to prepare for the Test series after the first round match. Mushir Khan and his elder brother Sarfaraz Khan, who performed well in the first match, also failed this time. The special thing is that all these three batsmen, who came one after the other in the batting order, were made victims by India C bowler Anshul Kamboj.

The brilliant batsman failed against India C

In this match being held in Anantapur, India C batted brilliantly in the first innings and scored a big score of 525 runs. Ishan Kishan, who was making a comeback in first class cricket, scored a brilliant century for India C in this match. Apart from him, experienced batsman Baba Indrajit, spinner Manav Suthar and captain Rituraj Gaikwad also scored half-centuries. In such a situation, it was believed that India B with a strong batting line-up would also easily score big here but this did not happen.

India B, which defeated a very strong India A in the last match, failed this time.

However, the opening pair of captain Abhimanyu Easwaran and Narayan Jagadeeshan made a great partnership of 129 runs, but after that there was a fall of wickets. Musheer, Sarfaraz and Rinku, who came at number three, fourth and fifth, could score only 23 runs together. Musheer, who scored a brilliant century in the last match, could score only 1 run, while his elder brother Sarfaraz, who was selected for the Bangladesh Test series, stayed for a long time but could score only 16 runs. Rinku, who created a stir in the short format, could score only 6 runs.

This bowler finished the game

Now the most important thing- all three of these stalwarts were hunted down by 23-year-old medium pacer Anshul Kamboj. The Anantapur pitch was already being said to be helpful for fast bowlers and this was also seen in the first match, but the way India C scored 525 runs in the first innings surprised everyone. However, Anshul proved this claim right again with his sharp bowling and destroyed the top-middle order of India B.

This bowler from Haryana first took the wicket of opener Jagdishan who played an innings of 70 runs, then got Mushir and Sarfaraz out LBW, while bowled Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Overall, Anshul destroyed India B by taking the first 5 wickets. Anshul, who has played 14 first class matches so far, had taken only 27 wickets before this match and took 5 wickets in an innings for the first time. Anshul got more recognition in the last IPL season, when he took 2 wickets in 3 matches for Mumbai.
