Abhiprai Biswas scored 73 off 62 balls with 11 fours and two sixes in India U-19's second multi-day Test against Australia U-19.

First ball six

Pitch challenge

“On such wickets, I adapt quickly. My shots are a bit horizontal, which helps on such wickets.”
Early training

U-23 success

“It is what it is. Abhi to bahut khelna hai (There’s a long way to go).”
