Jaipur: Shreyas Gopal of Karnataka missed out on a hundred in a Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match on Day Two against Rajasthan in Bengaluru on Wednesday. He made a crucial 95.
Resuming the day at 106/2, Shreyas and Manish Pandey (75 batting) steered the home to 380 for eight, extending their lead to 251 runs.
Aniket Choudhary was the standout bowler with four wickets while Manav Suthar took three.
On Day One, Rajasthan were bundled out for 129.
Shreyas grew in confidence during a 109-run fifth-wicket partnership with Sharath Srinivas (42, 120b, 5×4).
Shreyas was caught in two minds to a Aniket delivery that jagged back and took the outside edge when he went for a half-hearted jab and the ball flew to Yash Kothari at slip.
The poor shot cost him the chance to record his fifth first-class hundred.
All-rounder Shreyas collected 13 fours in his 165-ball knock while Pandey, who retired hurt after getting on his fingers, remained unbeaten at close of play.
Brief scores: Rajasthan 129 all out. Karnataka 380/8 (Shreyas Gopal 95, Manish Pandey 75* , Anikety Choudhary 4/81).
