Ranji Trophy 2022-23: Sai Sudharsan falls short of double ton, TN in control vs Hyderabad on day 3
The HinduDebutant S. Sai Sudharsan cracked an impressive century and Baba Aparajith notched up a brilliant ton to help Tamil Nadu declare at 510 for four in reply to Hyderabad’s 395 and pile on the agony for Hyderabad on the penultimate day of the four-day Ranji Trophy championship Elite Group B match at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on Thursday. Earlier, resuming at 203 for no loss, Tamil Nadu lost overnight centurion N. Jagadeesan to the third ball of the day when pacer Kartikeya Kak saw the batter fend a rising ball straight to the slip fielder. Just when looking good for a double century, Sudharsan couldn’t resist the temptation of playing a loose stroke on off-stump off left-arm spinner Tanay Thyagarajan only to be caught behind. Aparajith was lucky on 92 to see Aniketh Reddy drop a catch, near deep mid-wicket fence when he pulled pacer B. Punnaiah.
