Spotlight on Vijay as TN face tricky 97-run chase on Day 3
The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|February 01, 2025
FRIDAY was a mixed day for Tamil Nadu.
The R Sai Kishore-led team did well to bundle out Jharkhand for 154 in their second essay on Day 2 of their Ranji Trophy Group D meeting at the Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur. However, at the end of the day, they were placed in a tricky spot with the batters grappling to remain in the run chase (target of 234). Tamil Nadu were 137/5, requiring 97 more runs for victory.
Experienced batter Vijay Shankar was batting on 33 along with Ajith Ram (5) when stumps were drawn. Tamil Nadu will be backing on this pair to see them over the line on Saturday.
With Chhattisgarh taking the first innings lead against Chandigarh (who are placed second behind TN in Group D), Tamil Nadu have a solid chance of making the quarterfinals irrespective of the outcome against Jharkhand.
On the day, captain Sai Kishore led by example to grab five wickets (5/43). Ajith also picked up four wickets (4/30) to keep Tamil Nadu in the hunt.
