Ranji Trophy | Vishnu Vinod’s flamboyant knock keeps Kerala in the contest

Vishnu Vinod Kerala Kuldeep Yadav Jalaj Saxena MD Nidheesh Saurabh Kumar Basil Thampi Ranji Trophy Shreyas Gopal Yash Dayal

Vishnu Vinod made a comeback to First Class cricket with his trademark flamboyant knock (74) that helped Kerala stay in the contest against Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy cricket match at the SD College ground here on Saturday.

The host, after restricting Uttar Pradesh to 302 in the first innings, ended the day at 220 for six with Shreyas Gopal (36 batting) and Jalaj Saxena (6 batting) surviving a tricky final session.

But Kerala owes it to Vishnu Vinod, who was playing his first Ranji match after two years, for preventing Uttar Pradesh from dominating the contest. The start was ominous for the host with debutant Krishna Prasad falling for a golden duck. Vishnu walked in when Kerala was tottering at 32 for three. Kuldeep Yadav was tormenting Kerala batters and had just breached Rohan Prem’s defence with a delivery which whizzed past the defensive prod to castle him.
