2.Mohammed Shami’s brother Kaif made debut for Bengal.. Scored duck on debut but picked 3 wickets.. He bats at number 6.. Wonder if he is a much better batsman than Shami
3.Riyan Parag 155(87 balls – 12 sixes) for Assam Vs Chattisgarh… second fastest century in Ranji. One debutant for Assam called Bishal Roy scored 1(63 balls) . Strike rate of 1.58..Wonder if it is the slowest innings on firstclass debut, considering atleast 50 balls
4.Twins Arjit/Arpit Pannu for Chandigarh Vs Railways.. And railways had players Yuvraj Singh and Sahab Yuvraj Singh 😊.. Both are right handers though
5.Gujrat won against TN after conceding first innings lead.. TN got first innings lead because of bowlers Mohammed and Sandeep Warrier, who took 9 wickets among them and then had 100+ partnership at 9th wicket to take TN into lead.. Sai Kishore captained.. I wonder if first time in Ranji
6.Tripura Vs Goa… Wriddhiman Saha out on 97..
7.Delhi lost against Puducherry.. Gaurav Yadav 7/49.. Interestingly Puducherry is captained by Fabid Ahmed from Thalassery, Kerala.. My place 😊
8.Pujara scored 17th double vs Jharkhand.. There were debutants called Aditya on both sides and one of the got the other one out
9.Hitesh Walunj too 8 wkts on debut for Maharashtra Vs Manipur.. His career stats as of now is Avg 8. Economy 1.48 and strike rate 32.3 😊. There another guy called Varun Choudhary who took 7 wkts on debut for Services Vs Vidharba..
10.Krishna Prasad who had a superb Vijay Hazare tournament bagged a pair on debut for Kerala Vs UP.. Rinku 96, Jalaj Saxena history
11.Mayank Agarwal bagged a pair for Karnataka Vs Punjab.. Padikkal 193 and Manish Pandey another century.. very unlucky player.. Prabhsimran scored a century.. another guy who can keep wickets
Rahul Singh second fastest double in Ranji for Hyderabad Vs Nagaland.. Tilak Varma also century
12.Kishan Lyngdoh – Meghalaya captain scored 268 Vs Arunachal Pradesh.. First double by a Megalaya player ( not professionals from other states). Ram Gurnung who was making debut made a century and had 300+ partnership with Kishan
13.Agni Chopra made 166 and 92 on debut for Mizoram Vs Sikkim.. I was a bit interested to find who he was and found that he is the son of Vidhu Chopra director.. https://www.thequint.com/sports/cricket/agni-chopra-vidhu-vinod-chopra-son-century-ranji-trophy-debut .. Seems like he used to play for Mumbai but had some discipline issues.. Another debutant for Mizoram was KC Kariappa 😊.. he ended with 8 wickets
14. Lots of action happened in Bihar Vs Mumbai match.. Two Bihar teams turned up and a 12 year Vaibhav made debut
