Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed claimed his first wicket for India A by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal during their 2024 Duleep Trophy clash against India B at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, September 5.

The dismissal happened on the first ball of the 21st over of Team B’s innings, which Khaleel bowled short and wide outside off-stump. Jaiswal tried to cut the ball but it went straight to substitute fielder Shaswat Rawat, who took an easy catch at backward point.

Here’s a video of the dismissal:

The left-hander made 30 off 59 balls, with six boundaries. His dismissal left India B at 53-2 after 21.1 overs.

India B lose openers Jaiswal and Easwaran in the first session

India A captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first. India B's openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran, established a 33-run partnership off 78 balls before Avesh Khan dismissed Easwaran

Easwaran, who had been relatively settled at the crease, edged a wide delivery outside off-stump. Dhruv Jurel, displaying sharp reflexes behind the stumps, took a spectacular flying catch. Easwaran made 13 off 42 balls, including one boundary.
