Ranji Trophy: Vidarbha Storm Into Semis With Dominant Win Over TN
While Pradosh Ranjan Paul: Former winners Vidarbha delivered a commanding performance to book their spot in the Ranji Trophy semifinals, thrashing Tamil Nadu by 198 runs on Day 4 of their quarterfinal clash on Tuesday. Riding on Nachiket Bhute’s three-wicket haul and Yash Rathod’s resolute century, last season’s runners-up continued their winning momentum, sealing a convincing victory at home.
Chasing a daunting target of 401 runs, Tamil Nadu’s star-studded batting lineup crumbled under Vidarbha’s relentless bowling attack. Seamer Nachiket Bhute was the wrecker-in-chief early on, returning figures of 3-19 in 10 overs, dismissing Narayan Jagadeesan (18), Vijay Shankar (5), and Boopathi Kumar (0) in quick succession.
Tamil Nadu found themselves reeling at 45/5 on the penultimate day, with right-arm pacer Aditya Thakare striking the first blow by removing Mohammed Ali (10). While Pradosh Ranjan Paul (53 off 95 balls) and Sonu Yadav (57 off 84 balls) attempted a fightback, it proved too little too late.
