NAGPUR: Ganesh Satish's exhibition of batting on Thursday would be a learning experience for any youngster. It showed patience at the beginning, and measured aggression towards the end. In between, he constructed his unbeaten 148-run knock with elegant glances and drives along with intense square-cuts and pulls, all played under pressure. Satish lifted Vidarbha and pushed Tripura to the wall in the last 2 sessions on Day 3.
After conceding a 35-run lead to Tripura, Ganesh (142; 198b, 18x4, 1x6) took Vidarbha to 348 for 6 at stumps on the third day of Ranji Trophy match at Civil Lines stadium. The centurion and his 172-run partnership with Akshay Wadkar (88; 117b, 8x4, 1x6) was instrumental in taking the lead to 313.
