A maiden first-class hundred from young Vathsal Govind and a four-wicket haul from Basil Thampi ensured that Kerala secured an innings and 166-run win over minnows Meghalaya in three days in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group 'A' opener in Rajkot on Saturday. Sixteen-year-old pacer Edhen Apple Tom entered the record books by claiming a wicket off the first ball in the second innings to do an encore of his first innings feat.
It was a rare instance in Ranji Trophy history where a debutant pacer snared wickets with his first deliveries in both the innings of the match.
