PANAJI: At lunch break, when Goa's Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle trooped into the dressing room after putting on 577 runs for the third wicket against Arunachal, the two were told they were just 18 runs short of the highest-ever partnership in Ranji Trophy history.
Kauthankar had struck a triple century, while Kashyap, playing only his second Ranji game, was unbeaten on 280.
