On the rain-affected second day of the unofficial Test, Narayan Jagadeesan played a pivotal role in stabilizing India A's innings. His composed half-century propelled India A to 116 for one, trailing Australia A by a significant margin of 416 runs.

Jagadeesan's unbeaten 50 off 95 deliveries showcased his temperament and skill, hitting five fours and one six. Teammate B Sai Sudharsan supported him with 20 not out as both aimed to steady their side's response to Australia A's mammoth 532 for six declared.

Meanwhile, Australia A's Josh Philippe bolstered his side's batting with a blistering 123 not out, leading an explosive finish. Despite India A's efforts, the day ended prematurely due to rain, providing a challenging scenario for the hosts as they look to counter Australia's vast lead.
