Abid Mushtaq takes nine wickets as North Zone reaches Duleep Trophy semis

Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 101 off 114 balls to help India A recover from 16 for 2 and post 277 for 6 against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Prabhsimran Singh fell early, but Gaikwad steadied it with Tilak Varma, who chipped in 60 in a crucial middle-order partnership.

India A won by 8 runs in a tight finish. It's the kind of anchor innings that wins tournaments — not flashy, just there when it mattered.
