Vadodara: Dec 6, 2011
Gujarat put up a spirited bowling display to reduce Baroda to 192 for seven at stumps on the opening day of their Group B Ranji Trophy Elite division match.
Ishwar Chaudhary (2/63), Mehulkumar Balubhai Patel (2/35) and Faisal Dudhat (2/44) shared six wickets between them to give Gujarat the upper hand after electing to field.
Rakesh Solanki top-scored for Baroda with 69 that came off 129 balls.
Sent into bat, Anupam Gupta (28) and Aditya Waghmode (29) gave a solid start to Baroda innings with a 60-run opening stand before losing four quick wickets.
Baroda lost Gupta, Waghmode, Ambati Rayudu and captain Pinal Shah in a span of 16 runs to find themselves in a spot of bother at 76 for four.
But then Solanki shared two crucial partnerships with Shatrunjay Gaekwad (14) and Abhimanyu Chauhan (22) to stabilize the Baroda innings to some extent.
Solanki stitched 49 runs for the fifth wicket with Gaekwad and then 43 runs for the sixth wicket with Chauhan before Baroda lost two wickets at the team score of 168.
Solanki’s laced his 129-ball innings with 14 hits to the fence.
