NAGPUR: Atharva Taide posted the most challenging First Class century of his career while Yash Rathod notched up his highest Ranji Trophy score on Friday. Together, the two 23-year-old southpaws put Vidarbha ahead of Karnataka on Day 1 of the quarterfinal.
The team management’s plan of batting long was perfectly executed by the batters as Vidarbha finished on 261 for 3 at VCA’s Civil Lines Stadium. On the other hand, the Karnataka camp were left ruing missed chances and the pacers' inability to inflict more damage in favourable conditions.
