Hyderabad’s depth in batting came to the fore as T. Ravi Teja and Tanay Thyagarajan’s 109-run partnership for the eighth wicket rescued the team from dire straits against Bengal in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at the Barabati Stadium here on Friday.
Resuming from 15 for two, Hyderabad was reduced to 70 for seven before Ravi (81 n.o., 196b, 6x4, 2x6) and Tanay (52, 103b, 7x4) scored valuable half-centuries to enable their side to score 205 in the first innings and deny Bengal a big advantage on the second day.
