Ranji Trophy 2022-23 Round 6, Day 3 Round-up: Mayank Agarwal slams 208; Gujarat bowled out for 54 in chase of 73

Karnataka skipper Mayank Agarwal scored 208 off 360 balls as his team went to Stumps at 410/6 on Day 3 of their Ranji Trophy 2022-23 Elite Group C clash against Kerala in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, January 19.

Karnataka ended the day with a lead of 68 runs, responding to Kerala’s first-innings total of 342. In another match of the same group, Mahipal Lomror shone with 130* for Rajasthan against Chhattisgarh.

There was an unexpected result in an Elite Group D match of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. Gujarat, who needed only 73 runs for victory against Vidarbha, folded for just 54 as Aditya Sarwate claimed 6/17.

Thanks to Sarwate’s heroics, Vidarbha created a record by defending the lowest total in the tournament’s history. The previous record was held by Bihar, who defended 78 against Delhi in 1948/49.

In an Elite Group B match of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23, Divij Mehra’s 5/29 put Delhi in complete command against Mumbai. Delhi reduced their opponents to 168/9 by Stumps on Day 3.

Mumbai’s lead is a mere 92 with one wicket in hand. In the same group, Maharashtra beat Hyderabad by nine wickets as Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Satyajeet Bachhav claimed three-fers after Hyderabad were made to follow on.
