Baroda shot out Madhya Pradesh for a paltry 63 with their pacers accounting for nine wickets as the home side took control of their Ranji Trophy Elite Division match on the opening day.
India discard Irfan Pathan claimed three wickets while his Firdaush Bhaja and Murtuja Vahora bagged four and two respectively as Madhya Pradesh were all out in just 27.3 overs after being put into bat.
Just two Madhya Pradesh batsmen — captain Devendra Bundela (10 not out) and Anand Rajan (14) — could reach double digits as they perished one after another at the Moti Bagh Stadium here.
Bundela, who came to bat at number four when team score was 15 for two, remained not out on 10 after facing 56 balls.
Rajan scored his 14 from 25 balls while the extras made up 10 runs.
In reply, Baroda were 207 for four at stumps with Ambati going strong at an unbeaten 80. Aditya Waghmode was unlucky to have missed his century by a run.
While Waghmode smashed 17 fours during his 152-ball knock, Raydu hit 10 boundaries and two sixes while facing 117 balls during his 159-minute stay at the crease.
Baroda have secured two points after their opening match against Tamil Nadu in Chennai was declared drawn after being washed out by rain.
