Day 2 of the fourth spherical of Ranji Trophy fixtures obtained underway on Sunday.
Some noteworthy performances of the day included Shreyas Gopal’s all-round efficiency — he scored 71 earlier than taking 4 wickets for Karnataka — and Shaik Rasheed’s 87-run rescue act which helped a struggling Andhra.
However maybe probably the most eye-catching show got here off Meghalaya participant Akash Kumar’s willow. The 25-year-old smashed the fastest-ever First-Class fifty throughout his group’s Ranji Trophy Plate match in opposition to Arunachal Pradesh.
