Day 3 of the third round of Ranji Trophy matches was a batter’s day out majorly, with some teams going to wrap up their matches on the penultimate day. Baroda sealed a massive innings and 38-run win against Odisha, thanks to Krunal Pandya’s ton and Ninad Rathva’s six-wicket haul. Meanwhile, Karnataka batter Mayank Agarwal starred with a 105-run knock in the rain-hit tie against Bihar.

In reply, Odisha were bundled out for just 165 runs, with Ninad Rathva grabbing 6 wickets to wreak havoc on the batters. Baroda secured an innings and 98-run win, securing their third victory of this season.
Harshit Rana turns all-rounder
