Jharkhand’s batters went berserk in its Ranji Trophy pre-quarterfinal against Nagaland, recording the fourth-highest team total in the tournament’s history at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday.
Led by a powerful display from its middle-order batters and the tail-enders, Jharkhand breached the 800-run mark on day three in the five-day contest against the plate group topper, Nagaland.
Earlier on Sunday, 17-year-old wicketkeeper Kumar Kushagra converted his maiden first-class century to a massive 266 in just his third match on the back of Virat Singh’s 107. He was followed by a fifty from Anukul Roy before veteran left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem notched up his second first-class ton.
