Skipper Harpreet Singh Bhatia hit a century to help Chhattisgarh reach 270 for four against Jammu and Kashmir on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy Group C match here on Monday.

Bhatia, who scored a 196-ball 116, added 110 runs for the fourth wicket with Amandeep Khare (45 not out).

Electing to bat, the visiting side suffered an early setback when opener Rishabh Tiwari fell for a 14-ball duck, bowled by Aquib Nabi.

Jiwanjot Singh (42) and Abhimanyu Chauhan (51) added 65 runs for the second wicket to steady the ship before the latter was dismissed by Abid Mushtaq.

Jiwanjot was then involved in a 86-run partnership for the third wicket with Bhatia.

The two played some attractive shots with the captain in particular not sparing the loose deliveries. Bhatia, who put the team in a comfortable position, however, fell in the 88th over to Parvez Rasool.
