Dhiraj Jadhav and Mohammed Kaif scored fine centuries as India A piled on the misery on the hapless India Seniors bowlers on the third day of their four-day pratice match on Thursday.
Jadhav (113) and Kaif (103 not out) put on 155 runs for the third wicket as India A declared their second innings at 297 for five setting the seniors a target of 387 runs to win.
At stumps, the India seniors were 35 without loss in 10 overs with Yuvraj Singh batting on 23 and Virender Sehwag on 12.
Earlier, resuming at the overnight score of 47 for one, India A lost skipper Dinesh Mongia early when he was caught in the slips by Rahul Dravid off Trivedi for 25.
This brought Kaif to the crease and the Uttar Pradesh cricketer staked his claim for a Test berth as he milked the bowling at will.
Kaif, who has made no secret of his goal to get into the Test squad, brought up his century with a lofted boundary off Virender Sehwag. He scored his runs off 194 balls with 12 boundaries and a six.
