Ranji Trophy 2026-27: Nagwaswalla, Chintan put Gujarat firmly in command

Gujarat dominated the Elite Group C Ranji Trophy encounter after bowlers Arzan Nagwaswalla and Chintan Gaja dismantled the Kerala lineup. The pair utilized the second new ball to trigger a collapse, ending the Kerala first innings at 279 runs shortly after the tea break.

Nagwaswalla finished with four wickets for 59 runs, while Gaja claimed three for 65. Despite solid contributions from Vishnu Vinod, who scored 66, and Aditya Sarvate, who added 58, the visitors struggled to maintain momentum.

Following on, Kerala lost Rohan Kunnummal early, though Abhishek J. Nair and Sachin Baby managed to hold the crease until the close of play.
