Irani Trophy: Saurabh Kumar's all-round show puts ROI in firm control
Saurabh smashed 10 boundaries in his 78-ball 55 and added 71 with Jayant Yadav (37) for the seventh wicket to take ROI close to the 350-mark after Sarfaraz Khan dominated the opening day with a century. It was Saurabh's innings which helped ROI grab a solid 276-run first-innings lead over Saurashtra. The 29-year-old from Uttar Pradesh then returned to dismiss both the Saurashtra openers -- Harvik Desai (20) and Snell Patel (16) -- as ROI gained further ascendency in the match.
