Vijay Shankar celebrated his 50th Ranji Trophy match in style by slamming his ninth First-Class century (130) and posting his highest score in the format.
“Personally, it is an important knock for me because it is my 50th game for TN. I have been getting 50s in the last few games, so getting a 100 in a must-win game is special,” said the all-rounder after the second day’s play.
Last year, the 33-year-old had a good domestic season with three tons and followed it up with a good IPL but couldn’t find a place in the South Zone Duleep or Deodhar Trophy squad. He also had to forgo a county stint because of his first-division commitments.
