India vs Leicestershire Match Highlights:
On Day 3 of the warm-up match between India and Leicestershire, former captain Virat Kohli and prominent all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja both struck half-centuries after skipper Rohit missed match practice. While this was happening, India increased their Grace Road advantage to 366 runs. Let us dive into India vs Leicestershire Match Highlights.
Kohli has been going through a protracted lean patch. He added five boundaries and two sixes to his 67-run innings. Virat had excellent assistance from Iyer. He got his runs off 89 balls with the help of 11 boundaries, and Jadeja, who hit 10 fours during his unbroken effort.
But even with three fours, Chesteshwar Pujara could only manage 22 of the 53 balls. Both teams used Pujara as a batter. In the first innings of Leicestershire on Friday, he was dismissed for a duck.
In the Indian second innings, Jadeja was also out for a duck off Navdeep Saini, but as it was only a practice game, he subsequently returned to bat again. At the time of stumps, Jadeja was accompanied by Mohammed Siraj (1 not out). Pacer Navdeep Saini (3/55), one of the four Indian players who played for Leicestershire, showed brightly by taking three wickets for the county team.
