Bengal's dream of winning a Ranji Trophy after more than three decades suffered a setback as left-arm Saurashtra pace duo of Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya rattled the home team's top-order to bundle them out for a paltry 174 on the opening day of the summit clash in Kolkata on Thursday.

Watch: Ambati Rayudu, Sheldon Jackson Involved In Heated Exchange During Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy Game, Umpire Intervenes

The 2022 edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy is underway but it isn't just the bats and balls that are doing the talking early into the tournament. During a game between Baroda and Saurashtra on Wednesday, Ambati Rayudu and Sheldon Jackson got involved in a heated debate on the pitch that forced the on-field umpire and other players to intervene and separate them. The video of the two cricketer's heated argument has gone viral on the internet.

Irani Trophy: Saurashtra delay inevitable vs Rest of India with spirited batting show

At stumps on third day, Saurashtra reached to 368/8, riding on half-centuries from the quartet comprising Sheldon Jackson (71), Arpit Vasavada (55), Prerak Mankad (72) and skipper Jaydev Unadkat (78 batting). The overall lead is 92 runs now and Saurashtra would like to stretch it to at least 175 in order to set the cat among the pigeons. With 276 runs in arrears, Saurashtra were literally staring at a humiliating innings defeat after being reduced to 87 for 5 before lunch. However, Jackson and Vasavada, who have bailed Saurashtra out many-a-times in the past, added 117 runs for the sixth wicket to steady the ship. But, it was the 144-run eighth wicket stand between Unadkat and all-rounder Mankad that raised visions -- however improbable it may look at the moment -- of pulling off a heist. The duo not only had a century stand but also scored the runs at a quick clip -- in only 29.3 overs -- to keep the contest alive. If it was Jackson who took the attack back to the opposition by repeatedly stepping out to left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar (3/80 in 25 overs) to disturb his length, the pair of Unadkat and Mankad used the extra pace of Kuldeep Sen (3/85 in 16 overs) and Umran Malik (0/59 in 16 overs) to their advantage. They hit six sixes from the bowling of Jackson, Vasavada and Unadkat.

"Just A Ploy To Not Pick Someone": Indian Domestic Great Slams Selection Criteria

Sheldon Jackson, a stalwart in the domestic circuit, found his name missing from the India A squad that will take on New Zealand A in three four-day matches as well as the Duleep Trophy squads that were announced earlier this week. The wicketkeeper-batter, 35, was left disappointed that despite producing good performances, he was ignored with his age being cited as the reason. Jackson said that he was being given that reason since he was 31, while others above 30 did go on to get picked by the selectors.

IPL 2022, KKR Predicted XI vs SRH: Will Pat Cummins Injury Open Up A Slot For Sam Billings?

Kolkata Knight Riders were dealt a heavy blow in the form of an injury that has ruled all-rounder Pat Cummins out for the rest of IPL 2022. Cummins starred with the ball in their last match, a 52-run win over Mumbai Indians, and his absence would mean that their team balance takes a big hit when they take on SunRisers Hyderabad with an eye on keeping their playoff hopes alive. With Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Tim Southee having played the last match -- and all of them likely to retain their places -- it would open up a chance for KKR to bring in an extra batter, possibly in the form of Sam Billings. This would see Sheldon Jackson potentially replaced by Shivam Mavi.
