Madhya Pradesh stormed into the Ranji Trophy semifinals for the third time in a row, defeating Andhra by four runs in an intensely-fought contest on February 26.
In pursuit of 170, Andhra resumed the day at 95 for four with the seasoned Hanuma Vihari (55, 136b, 5x4) around, and not many seemed optimistic about Madhya Pradesh’s chances.
However, player-of-the-match Anubhav Agarwal had different plans. The lanky fast bowler, who claimed three wickets in the first essay, made the most of the cold and cloudy conditions in the morning at the Holkar Stadium and bagged six for 52 to dash Andhra’s hopes.
