Lavishing praise on <g data-gr-id="8">Gurkeerat</g> Singh for his match-winning heroics against Australia A in the tri-series final, India A captain <g data-gr-id="9">Unmukt</g> Chand on Friday said that the middle-order batsman batted well at a crucial time to bail the hosts out of trouble. Chasing 227 for a win at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, India A were in trouble at 142 for six before <g data-gr-id="10">Gurkeerat</g> (87 not out) and Sanju Samson (24 not out) stitched an unbeaten 87-run stand to pull off a four-wicket win. <g data-gr-id="11">Unmukt</g> admitted the teams follies but praised the batting duo. “Of course we did not bat well really in the middle overs of the ten overs. Mayank got run out, it was unfortunate.
