Rishabh Chouhan (233 (411b, 29x4, 4x6) piled on the agony for TNCA XI with a sensational double-hundred as Madhya Pradesh posted a mammoth 536 in the semifinals of the All India Buchi Babu tournament at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul on Monday.
Resuming day three on 456 for seven, Rishabh who was batting on 181 completed his double-ton and was the last batter to be dismissed after batting for a little more than ten hours. For TN, Sai Kishore scalped four wickets.
In reply, the Tamil Nadu side finished on 212 for four with Washington Sundar leading the charge batting on 83. A lot rests on the all-rounder on the final day to ensure TN takes the first-innings lead and qualify for the final. In case, if the first-innings is unfinished, MP will reach the title clash as it had nine points in the league stage compared to TNCA’s seven.
