After a horror of a start in their first innings of Ranji Trophy 2025-26 opener against Kerala, Maharashtra put up a solid show to close out the play on Day 3 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Maharashtra openers \u2013 Prithvi Shaw and Arshin Kulkarni \u2013 added 51 runs for the opening wicket before bad light forced early stumps, extending the lead to 71 runs.<\/p>\n

This was after Jalaj Saxena (3\/46) combined with Vicky Ostwal (2\/25), Ranjeesh Gurbani (2\/49) and Mukesh Choudhary (2\/52) to bowl out Kerala for 219 and thereby taking a slim 20-run lead. For Kerala, Sanju Samson top-scored with 54 off 63.<\/p>\n

Saurashtra Take First Innings Lead<\/h2>\n

In Rajkot, Saurashtra\u2019s last-wicket pair of Chetan Sakariya and Yuvrajsinh Dodiya waged a battle to give their team a crucial four-run first innings lead despite Karnataka legspinner Shreyas Gopal grabbing eight wickets in an excellent spell on Day 3 of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match.<\/p>\n

Resuming from their overnight 200 for four, Saurashtra were in danger of conceding the innings lead after slipping to 342 for nine with Shreyas (8\/110) doing the bulk of damage.<\/p>\n

But Chetan Sakariya (29 off 72) and Yuvrajsinh Dodiya (13* off 34) added 34 runs for the 10th wicket as the home side made 376, against Karnataka\u2019s 372.<\/p>\n

In their second innings, Karnataka were 89 for one for a lead of 85 runs. Skipper Mayank Agarwal (31) and Devdutt Padikkal (18) are batting at stumps.<\/p>\n

In the morning session, Prerak Mankad (27) was the first to depart, falling leg before to Shreyas. But veteran Arpit Vasavada (58) and Gajjar Sammar (45) shared a solid stand of 57 for the sixth wicket as Saurashtra moved close to 300-run mark.<\/p>\n

Shreyas returned to trap Vasavada in front of the wicket, and soon he added the scalps of Sammar and Dharmendra Jadeja to his kitty. Shikhar Shetty breached the defence of Jaydev Unadkat to reduce Saurashtra to 342 for nine, and the visitors looked set to take the innings lead and three points.<\/p>\n

But Sakariya and Dodiya had other ideas as the last wicket pair stoutly resisted Karnataka bowlers for nearly 16 overs. Dodiya edged pacer Abhilash Shetty through the slips to take Saurashtra to 370 from 366, and Agarwal handed the ball back to Shreyas in search of a decisive breakthrough. But Sakariya slog-swept the leg-spinner for six over mid-wicket to hand his side the innings lead, a moment he celebrated with a punch in the air. Shreyas trapped Sakariya leg before two balls later to bring curtains down on Saurashtra innings, but by then they had done just enough to ensure three points from this contest.<\/p>\n
