Pune: Medium pacer Sachin Chaudhari’s sensational bowling effort (7/52) guided Maharashtra to a nine-wicket win over Tripura in their Group C Ranji Trophy match here on Wednesday.
Needing 63 to win in their second innings, Kedar Jadhav made a quick-fire 48 not out to take his home with just one wicket down after Chaudhari along with Shrikant Mundhe (3/62) wreaked havoc on the fourth and final day.
Tripura wicketkeeper Yogesh Takawale (109) made a valiant unbeaten century but could stop the hosts.
Takawale failed to find support from the other batsmen as Tripura kept losing wickets at regular intervals and folded for 218. (PTI)
