Ranji Trophy: Cheteshwar Pujara Racks Up 17th Double Ton In First-Class Cricket Extending Saurashtra's Dominance
Cheteshwar Pujara showed his insatiable hunger for runs with his 17th double hundred in first-class cricket before Prerak Mankad's all-round show put Saurashtra in command of their Ranji Trophy opener against Jharkhand on day three in Rajkot on Sunday. Pujrara, unbeaten on 157 overnight, ended with 243 not out off 356 balls as Saurashtra declared their first innings at 578 for four in response to Jharkhand's 142 all in the first innings, gaining a massive lead of 436 runs. The declaration came after Mankad (104 not out off 176) completed his second first-class hundred.
