The Tamil Nadu batsman, led by N. Jagadeesan (125, 152b, 14×4), was delighted to be back in M.A. He rallied 386-4 on the opening day of Ranji’s trophy clash with Assam on Tuesday at Chidambaram’s stadium for the first time this season.
After a knock on Jagadeesan, Pradsh neared 300 of the season as his Ranjanpaul took the baton from him and he finished the day undefeated on 99 (127b, 11×4).
B. Indrajith (77 shots) and Vijay Shankar (53 shots) made significant contributions. The most impressive thing about TN hitting was that he didn’t hit a single 6 that day, even though he hit over 4 rpo, and he didn’t risk a run.
early movement
Earlier, Assam’s Mukhtar Hussain and Sunil Rachit swung new balls to keep the TN opening game quiet in the first hour, with Rachit B. beating Sai Sudarsan in four overs.
But when the ball stopped swinging, Jagadee Sun unleashed a slash, punishing the bowler with a stylish square his drive for a majestic offside.
After losing Aparajit, Jagadeesan and Indrajit added 157 runs for the third wicket to dominate the second session. However, just before the tee, left-arm spinner Siddharth Salmar took charge of both batsmen. He had to evade Indrajit before Jagadeesan was caught in the depths.
The left-handed Pradosh punished the Assamese bowlers with excellent wristwork scoring effortlessly from the leg side of the fore and hind legs.
At the other end, Shankar quickly piled up runs as the duo added 150 runs in the fifth wicket stand without interruption.
On a pitch that offered several twists and turns, TN attempted to hit just once, using his M, which was especially dangerous, by scoring a big total on his second day. Followed by Shah Rukh Khan.
