Suyash Prabhudessai swept and reverse-swept his way to his fifth first-class century (104, 192b, 17x4) before Goa lost its last five wickets for just eight runs to be bowled out for 241 against Tamil Nadu on day one of the elite Group-C match in the fifth round of the Ranji Trophy at the Goa Cricket Association (GCA) Academy ground in Porvorim on February 2.
Opting to bat, Goa lost its opener Ishaan Gadekar, to Sandeep Warrier, off the third ball of the match.
Manthan Khutkar’s dismissal was nicely set up. Warrier, bowling shorter from over the wicket, had a short leg and captain Sai Kishore at short cover for the last two balls of the ninth over. In the first ball of his next over, Warrier switched to bowl from around the wicket to have Khutkar spoon a catch to Sai Kishore.
