Match Summary: Jharkhand (168 & 122) lost to Saurashtra (205 & 86/2) by 8 wickets
Points: Jharkhand 0, Saurashtra 6
A second consecutive loss and the season goes from bad to worse. This time the game barely lasted 2 days. The pitch was a minefield with both batting sides unable to do much about it. The home team though had the inspirational figure of Ravindra Jadeja who picked 13 wickets and top scored in his team's first innings. And that made all the difference in the result. This was the Sir Jadeja performance which the Indian team expects but rarely gets.
Game Notes
- Varun Aaron is leading the Jharkhand squad.
- Quite a few changes made from the first game by the Jharkhand team with seamers Ajay Yadav, Rahul Shukla & Jaskaran Singh dropped and their places taken by Aaron, Kaushal Singh and Vinayak Vikram
- Vinayak Vikram made his first class debut
Young Ishan Kishan's blistering 87 off 69 balls in the 1st innings. An innings which got a whole cricinfo article for itself (Link)
