Ranji Trophy 2018-19, Round 2, Day 1: Round up

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has begun his preparation for the Australia tour with a brilliant four-wicket haul in round two of the Ranji Trophy 2018-19. His heroics helped Saurashtra bowl out the Railways for just 200 runs. Furthermore, he came into bat at a juncture when his team was under immense pressure and was unbeaten on 33 at the close of play on day 1.

Andhra batsman Ricky Bhui continued with his rich vein of form. He notched up his second consecutive century this season with a 109 against Kerala. Gujarat’s Manprit Juneja, Hyderabad’s Akshath Reddy, Bengal’s KB Ghosh, Puducherry’s Paras Dogra were the other centurions of the day. Yusuf Pathan, unfortunately, couldn’t get to the three-figure mark and fell for 99. It was a counter-attacking knock from a position where Baroda were being dominated by Maharashtra bowlers.

Jharkhand bowled Haryana out for just 81 runs which is another highlight of the day. Although many picked up four-wicket hauls, it was Uttarakhand’s Deepak Dhapola who stole the show with a 7-wicket haul against Manipur. Karnataka’s skipper Vinay Kumar picked one wicket thus far in his 100th Ranji Trophy match.
