Irani Cup: Taide’s Unbeaten Century Takes Vidarbha To 280/5 Against ROI
Irani Cup: Atharva Taide’s unbeaten century and his commanding third-wicket stand with Yash Rathod helped Vidarbha reach 280/5 at stumps on day one of the Irani Cup game against Rest of India at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha on Wednesday.
After being pegged back early by left-arm spinner Manav Suthar, who struck twice in one over to dismiss Dhruv Shorey and Danish Malewar, Vidarbha found stability through Taide (118 not out) and Rathod (91). The duo added 184 runs for the third wicket to steer the Ranji Trophy champions out of trouble and into a position of strength.
Taide, reprieved twice in the morning session - first by a no-ball and then via a dropped catch - made full use of his chances and reached his century with a lofted six over long-on. Rathod, fluent and composed in his stay at the crease, fell nine short of his hundred when he was dismissed by Suthar.
