Jharkhand recovered from a difficult start to reach 258/5 at the close of play on Tuesday during their Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match against Odisha at KIIT Stadium in Bhubaneswar, according to Odisha Bytes.
Resuming at 37/3, Jharkhand lost their fourth wicket when skipper Virat Singh was dismissed for 39 off 143 balls by left-arm spinner Ninad Rathva. The team had previously seen only 25 overs on the opening day due to bad weather.
Allrounder Anukul Roy and overnight batter Aditya Singh shared a 155-run partnership for the fifth wicket to blunt the Odisha attack. Aditya Singh remained unbeaten on 94 from 283 deliveries, while Anukul Roy scored 89 off 140 balls before being caught by Ninad off the bowling of medium-pacer Badal Biswal.
Anukul Roy hit seven fours and two sixes during his innings, which had a strike rate of 63. At the end of the day, Robin Minz was batting with Aditya Singh, having scored 11.
In the Jharkhand first innings, Rajesh Mohanty took 2/30. The match is scheduled to continue on Day 3.
