Ranji Trophy | Madhya Pradesh continues to call the shots against Jammu & Kashmir

Madhya Pradesh solidified its dominance in the Ranji Trophy Group-A clash against Jammu & Kashmir on Tuesday, extending its first-innings lead to 227 runs after a dismal batting effort from the home side. J&K managed just 120 runs in their innings, with neither Auqib Nabi nor Sunil Kumar able to capitalize on early momentum, despite taking two wickets each.

Madhya Pradesh’s top order, led by captain Shubham Sharma, remained resilient, with Sharma scoring an unbeaten 51 and Atharva Mahajan contributing 35 as the team reached 151 for five in their second innings. The J&K bowlers struggled to maintain pressure, while sloppy fielding errors further weakened their position.

Heavy rain disrupted play midway, but Madhya Pradesh’s commanding lead ensures they hold the advantage as the match resumes under uncertain weather conditions.
