Ranji Trophy is the platform from which many young talents show their skill and prove their dominance and few only can select for the Indian cricket team. Young opener Shaw underlined his class with a century against a quality Tamil Nadu attack to lead Mumbai to 314 for 7 on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy Group C match.
Opt to bat after winning the toss, Mumbai suffered an early setback when comeback man V Yo Mahesh got Akhil Herwadkar in his first over. The opener was trapped leg-before for a duck. Shaw and Shreyas Iyer, who has been picked in the India T20 team to face New Zealand, were in an aggressive frame of mind and attacked the Tamil Nadu bowlers. Iyer fell at 106 after a fluent knock of 57 which included seven fours and two sixers. He edged a delivery from Vijay Shankar to keeper N Jagadeesan.
Mohammed Siraj celebrated his India call-up for the upcoming T-20I series against Kiwis, with a four-wicket haul as Hyderabad dismissed Karnataka for 183 on the first day of a Ranji Trophy group An encounter. At stumps, Hyderabad was 51 for 3 with Kolla Sumanth unbeaten on 34. Siraj grabbed 4 sensational wickets for 42 in 15 overs as India international KL Rahul was castled by medium pacer Ravi Kiran for four runs. He looked rusty during his 27-ball stay at the crease. Hosts Karnataka after a good batting show in the previous game faltered badly with only Stuart Binny's 61 off 88 balls adding some semblance of respectability to the total.
