Karun Nair continued the career of his dreams with the bat, scoring an undefeated century to help Vidarbha reach 264 for six on the opening day of his quarterfinals of the Ranji trophy against Tamil Nadu in Nagpur on Saturday. Nair, 33, who has been stellar, raised his first class. This coup continues its century against Hyderabad in the previous round, and adds to its four hundred consecutive in the Vijay Hazare 50 trophy. The 100 -ball blow left 180 balls and included 14 limits and a six, once again demonstrating its class and consistency.
When choosing first, Vidarbha had an unstable start, losing three rapid wickts to meet 44 by 3. However, Nair found a partner capable of Danish Malewar, who played a fundamental role in the rescue of the tickets.
The two batters forged a crucial association of 98 races for the fourth Wickt, carrying the score to 142 and stabilizing the entries after the early collapse.
Malewar was fired by 75 after Mhammed by Vijay Shankar caught him in the bowling of Vijay Shankar in 47. His blow, which included 13 well -lasted limits, was crucial to guarantee the recovery of Vidarbha.
After Malewar’s departure, Nair took the reins, continuing to anchor the tickets. He added 64 races with Akshay Wadkar (24), guiding the team about 250.
Nair celebrated his half century with an elegant sweeping against Sai Kishore for a limit and then reached three figures with only Spet Ram in 86.
In Stumps, Nair was still in the fold with Harsh Dubey (19 out) for the company.
For Tamil Nadu, Shankar was the choice of bowling players, claiming two WICKETS for 50 races. M Mohammed (1/50), Sonu Yadav (1/55), S Ajith Ram (1/50) and Mohammed Ali (1/16) also made contributions to the ball.
