Manan Hingrajia: Gujarat began their Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season in dominating fashion, defeating two-time champions Hyderabad by 126 runs in a comprehensive victory at the Gymkhana Ground on Monday. In what was a thrilling conclusion to the Elite Group B match, Hyderabad faltered in their chase of 297 on the final day, falling prey to both poor shot selection and an excellent bowling performance from Gujarat.

The home side lost key wickets at regular intervals, never managing to build momentum. Left-arm pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla set the tone early, striking twice in the fourth over. He first removed experienced opener Tanmay Agarwal for just 1, before trapping Hyderabad skipper G. Rahul Singh lbw with the very next delivery, leaving the hosts struggling at 3 for 2 and immediately on the back foot.

Despite the early damage, Hyderabad’s hopes were momentarily revived by opener Abhirath Reddy and seasoned campaigner Rohit Rayudu. The pair put on a fighting 64-run stand for the third wicket, with Abhirath displaying a mix of patience and flair, and Rayudu holding firm at the other end. Their partnership briefly raised Hyderabad’s hopes of pulling off a dramatic chase.
