There is a lot of competition around, even within players who are in the team now. Finding a place in the Indian team is really challenging. He even finished the game with half a dozen runs over long-on, helping his side take a 1-0 lead in the unofficial ODI series. The Kerala wicketkeeper-batter may have missed the ticket to Australia but he pointed out it's always a “challenge” to cement a place in the India eleven. India A got over the line with over 18 overs to spare and Samson's match-winning hit sent the Chepauk crowd into a frenzy. Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Sen shared seven wickets between them to set up India A's comfortable 7-wicket win over New Zealand A in the first unofficial ODI in Chennai on Thursday.

Known for his outswingers and nip-backers, Thakur soon after removed Dane Cleaver with a short ball, forcing him to pull only to be caught at fine leg after a top edge. Sen, making his debut for India A, bowled in tandem with the senior quick to trap No.

Logan Van Beek (1) fell to Kuldeep Yadav and NZ 'A' slumped to 74 for 8. "Because of 9 AM start, there was something in the air which we were able to exploit," he added. The duo took the score past 150 and looked good for some more before Rajat Patidar's throw from the cover caught Walker short of his crease. At one stage, the New Zealanders looked in danger of being bundled out for less than 100 but some rearguard action by Michael Rippon (61, 104 balls, 4 fours) and Joe Walker (36, 49 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) helped them post 167 in 40.2 overs. Tripathi, who came in after the dismissal of Shaw to Matthew Fisher, got runs without taking too many risks. Rippon was joined by off-spinner Walker and the duo slowly but surely mounted a fight. Sent in to bat by India 'A' captain Sanju Samson, incisive bowling by Thakur and Sen had the visiting team in trouble from the start. In his next over, he had Dane Cleaver (4) caught by Sen. A superb performance by medium-pacers Shardul Thakur (4 for 32) and Kuldeep Sen (3 for 30) helped set up a seven-wicket win for India 'A' against New Zealand 'A' in the first unofficial ODI on Thursday.
