Ranji Trophy Round-Up: Venkatesh Iyer, Patidar Shine For MP; Shankar’s Heroics Propel TN
Ranji Trophy Elite Group: Former winner Madhya Pradesh asserted their dominance over Kerala in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group C clash at the Greenfield International Stadium, setting the hosts a daunting target of 363 to win the match. Rajat Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer were the stars of the day, playing contrasting but equally impactful innings to steer their team to a commanding position.
Resuming the day with their skipper Shubham Sharma at the crease, Madhya Pradesh suffered an early blow when Shubham was bowled by Basil NP soon after completing his half-century. However, Patidar stepped in to steady the innings with an elegant knock. His drives and punches through the cover region were a treat to watch, with six of his 11 boundaries coming from that area.
Patidar looked set for a well-deserved century but fell short by eight runs, nicking a fuller delivery from Basil to the slip cordon. Basil was Kerala’s standout bowler, consistently troubling the batters and finishing with a four-wicket haul.
