India A once again witnessed a collapse as the side went from 256/5 to being bowled out for 312 runs in their 2nd innings of the unofficial Test against Australia A.

Barring Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan, the rest of the Indian batters failed to fire as Fergus O Neil and Todd Murphy wreaked havoc.

While Baba Indrajith departed after scoring just 6 runs, Test aspirants Ishan Kishan (32) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (17) failed to convert their starts into good knocks in the contest despite stitching together a decent partnership.
