Ranji Trophy: Easwaran's Ton, Garg's Gritty Knock Lead To Draw As Bengal Dominate U.P.
But Priyam Garg: Abhimanyu Easwaran continued his sublime run of form with a brilliant century as Bengal played out a draw with Uttar Pradesh on the final day of their Ranji Trophy encounter here on Monday. Resuming the day at 78, Easwaran scored his 27th First-class hundred — his fifth century in the last nine innings — to help Bengal declare their second innings at 254/3, setting U.P. a target of 273 runs. Despite a challenging pitch and early setbacks, Priyam Garg’s gritty century ensured the hosts managed to hold on for a draw.
Bengal walked away with three points for their first-innings lead, while Uttar Pradesh had to settle for one.
Starting the day under overcast skies, the U.P. pacers struggled to generate any movement from the pitch. Bengal’s opening pair of Easwaran and Sudip Chatterjee, who had already stitched together a century stand on Day 3, remained untroubled by the bowling attack. Yash Dayal’s short-ball ploy was short-lived after the left-armer was cautioned for delivering three consecutive deliveries above shoulder height.
