Despite off-spinner Shreyas Gopal's five-wicket haul, the India Red batsmen kept exerting pressure on the bowlers, leaving them clueless. In reply, the Suresh Raina-led India Green brigade, failed to put up a fight in both the innings to be skittled out for 151 and 277. If Rajasthani rookie pacer Nathu Singh (6-53) brought the opposition's downfall in the first innings, it was chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (6-88) who bowled India Red to an emphatic win within the first hour of the final day. Tottering at the overnight score of 217/7 after the third day's play, Raina and pacer Ashoke Dinda (10) began the proceedings on Friday, but lost the three remaining wickets in less than an hour to hand India Red a victory. India Red will now face the Gautam Gambhir-led India Blue at the same venue from Monday.
