Earlier after India A resumed on 304 for six, Naman, who was batting on the overnight score of 82 soon reached the three-figure mark and continued to counter the Australian attack. Coming in at No 7 he rallied on to power his team to a comfortable position. Ohja and Dhawal Kulkarni added 49 runs today before the latter returned to the pavilion. Leg-spinner Cameron Boyce claimed the lower-order batsman and in his next sent back Umesh Yadav for naught to finish with a four-wicket haul. 

Pragyan Ojha then faced 27 deliveries to score four runs before nicking Moises Henriques to the wicketkeeper. Jasprit Bumrah who replaced him at the crease then helped add 75 runs to the total in an unbroken partnership until India A declared the innings. 

Jasprit Bumrah scalped opener Alex Doolan (12) and Peter Forrest (16), both caught by KL Rahul.

Dhawal Kulkarni sent back Phil Hughes (34) while Umesh Yadav bowled James Faulkner (1) to reduce the home side to 73 for four. 
Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha had Moises Henriques (4) caught behind before Bumrah ended Chris Lynn's resistance by inducing an edge for wicketkeeper Naman Ojha.

With the top six back in the dressing room before the team could reach the three-figure mark, it was left to the lower-order to salvage the innings. Marsh and Whiteman played out the remaining overs of the day with an unbroken stand of 27 runs.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
