Spinners claimed fifteen wickets to help Tamil Nadu bowl out Railways for 246 and 114 and win by an innings and 129 runs on day three of the third-round Group-C match in the Ranji Trophy at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science ground on Sunday.
Pratham Singh (92, 94b, 10x4, 4x6) was the first wicket to fall on the day. He charged at pacer Sandeep Warrier only to nick behind to keeper N. Jagadeesan. Nishant Kushwah (36, 95b, 5x4), the other well-set batter, nicked his square cut off left-arm spinner Sai Kishore to the keeper. Pratham and Nishant added 117 runs for the third-wicket stand.
Railways then lost three wickets in 17 balls to be reduced from 218 for four to 220 for seven.
