Ranji Trophy 2026/27: Pradosh’s gritty hundred earns Tamil Nadu big lead against Uttarakhand

Tamil Nadu’s Pradosh Ranjan Paul delivered a masterclass in patience and precision with a gritty 136-ball century to propel his side to a commanding 179-run lead over Uttarakhand on day two of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group-D clash. The left-handed batter, known for his aggressive strokeplay, resisted the urge to force the pace, instead anchoring the innings with a disciplined approach alongside Baba Indrajith (77).

Their 171-run partnership for the third wicket laid the foundation for Tamil Nadu’s dominance, as the duo weathered Uttarakhand’s tight bowling and occasional short deliveries to keep the scoreboard ticking. Paul’s century included boundaries to J.

Suchith and Janmejay Joshi, while Indrajith’s technical prowess against spin further stifled the visitors’ attack, with both batters exploiting the slow pitch to dominate proceedings early in the day.
