Ranji Trophy Day 4 LIVE score: Salil Arora scores hundred for Punjab; J&K needs 326 to win

Punjab’s Salil Arora delivered a commanding performance with his second First-Class century, anchoring a strong 437-run total against Jammu & Kashmir. The opener’s aggressive yet composed innings ended at 110, though he was dismissed after a partnership with Emanjot Chahal, who later notched his own century and added flair with consecutive sixes that damaged the ball.

Meanwhile, J&K’s chase faltered early, losing key wickets including Shubham Khajuria and Shubham Pundir, leaving them at 6 for 2 and needing 326 to win after Madhya Pradesh declared at 249 for 6, courtesy of captain Shubham Sharma’s gritty century.

Elsewhere, Karnataka’s lead over Kerala tightened as Lalith Mohan’s left-arm spin claimed wickets, including Madhav Bajaj stumped for 39, reducing Karnataka to three wickets in hand with a 130-run advantage. Kerala, meanwhile, collapsed to 366 for eight, with Aditya Sarwate’s 78 providing little solace as Jharkhand’s bowlers tightened the noose.

The day’s action saw multiple teams navigate early setbacks, with Punjab and Madhya Pradesh’s aggressive declarations setting the tone for high-stakes finishes in the Ranji Trophy’s opening round.
