5 best performers for India A from the recently-concluded tour to Australia

India A concluded their tour to Australia on Sunday with a draw in the second unofficial match. It proved to be a mixed month for the players Down Under, registering a win in the quadrangular series, but losing out to Australia A in the two-match four-day unofficial series.

We look bvack at the best performers for India A from the tour:

5.Akhil Herwadkar

After three innings of batting failure, the India A unit finally showed some spine in the final innings of their second unofficial four-day Test series against Australia A and Akhil Herwadkar was the cornerstone for that improved batting effort on the third day.

The left-hander from Sangli showed a lot of grit and composure in his innings of 82 not out and certainly showed a lot of batsmen in the present team that by showing application, one can succeed against the present Australian A bowling attack.

Herwadkar has an impressive first-class record, where he has scored 1502 runs in 52 matches at an average of 42.91. He will now look to begin the new season on a positive note and build on that momentum.
