Ranji Trophy 2022 Day 3 STUMPS
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: A century for Baba Aparajith as Tamil Nadu flexes muscles against Hyderabad. This has been an incredible innings by the seasoned campaigner. After Sudharsan narrowly missed out on a double century, Aparajith managed to forge a partnership with his brother Indrajith to add to Hyderabad’s woes.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: Tamil Nadu goes past 450. Baba Aparajith is unbeaten on 83, while Indrajith is at 25. After Sudharsan’s 179, brothers Aparajith and Indrajith aim to guide Tamil Nadu to 500-plus total. So far, Hyderabad bowlers have struggled to find breakthroughs.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: Sai Sudharsan narrowly misses out on a double century as he departs for a brilliant 179 off 273 balls with 18 boundaries and a six as Tamil Nadu crossed the 430-run mark to take a valuable first innings lead. The opener along with Baba Aparajith forged a 134-run stand off 196 deliveries with Aparajith smashing an unbeaten half-century. Skipper Baba Indrajith walks out after the fall of Sudarshan and the Baba brothers will look to further extend the lead.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: Sai Sudharsan will be pleased to get to his century but Hyderabad did well to pick two wickets to peg back Tamil Nadu. N Jagadeesan was the first to depart and then Kavin Ravi, who forged a 79-run stand with Sai Kishore. Baba Apararihith and Sudharsan have now forged an unbeaten stand of 42 and head into the Lunch break with the visitors closing in on the Hyderabad first innings’ total and trailing by just 70 runs.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: Tanay Thyagarajan strikes and an important wicket for Hyderabad as he traps Kavin Ravi and breaks the stand. Sudharsan, however, is motoring on nicely having reached his century as Baba Aparajith comes out to bat as Hyderabad aims to create further inroads. The wicket of Sudharsan will be the key and if Hyderabad manages to pack off the opener, the home side will be relatively pleased with their efforts in the opening session.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: B Sai Sudharsan hits a century and that has been a top knock from the Tamil Nadu opener. He was involved in a massive 2-4-run partnership for the opening wicket with Jagadeesan and has now taken charge of Tamil Nadu’s reply of Hyderabad’s first innings total of 395. He along with Kavin Ravi are building a partnership and the home side will look to make further inroads.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: Kartikeya Kak strikes and he removes Jagadeesan who falls for a brilliant 97-ball 116 with 16 boundaries and three sixes. Sai Sudharsan is in touching distance in what would be a sublime century. The opening stand of 204 runs is broken as Kavin Ravi joins Sudharsan in the middle.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 3 Updates: B Sai Sudharsan and N Jagadeesan resume Tamil Nadu’s charge and Hyderabad will aim to break the double century stand as Sudharsan approaches his century. Tanmay Agarwal has used as many as five bowlers and none of them has been able to break the stand. Hyderabad’s frontline bowlers need to come up with a strategy and make a breakthrough.
Hyderabad vs Tamil Nadu, Day 2 Report: Tamil Nadu opener N. Jagadeesan continued his prolific run this season scoring a brilliant century (116 not out, 95b, 16x4, 3x6) and in the process, put on an unbroken, 203-run stand in 35 overs with an equally efficient opening partner B. Sai Sudharsan (87 not out, 115b, 11x4) against Hyderabad at the close of play on the second day of the four-day Ranji Trophy match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on Wednesday.
Earlier, Hyderabad posted 395 which then looked to be a challenging total thanks to the brilliant Mickil Jaiswal scoring his maiden Ranji hundred (137 not out, 193b, 18x4, 3x6) in his third match. He put on a 124-run stand for the sixth wicket with captain Tanmay Agarwal (135, 271b, 16x4).
The two looked solid in handling the Tamil Nadu attack which clearly struggled till the new ball was taken. That made a big difference as after Tanmay departed, the others failed to come good in the face of accurate bowling by pacer Warrier, who completed a five-wicket haul, and was ably supported by pacer L. Vignesh, who claimed four wickets.
If Hyderabad thought it would dictate terms while bowling, then it was up against a very determined opening pair of Sudharsan and Jagadeesan. The two batted as if they had a limited-overs target by the close of play with the first 10 overs producing 65 runs.
The home team bowling line-up looked clueless as the innings progressed. Pacer Karthikeya Kak looked better when bowling to the right-handed Jagadeesan, moving the ball away, but struggled against southpaw Sudharsan.
The Tamil Nadu openers combined wonderful stroke selection with rock-solid defence when the situation demanded without actually letting the bowlers come on top at any stage.
