Nagpur, Feb 9: Pacer Aditya Thakare’s four-wicket burst had Tamil Nadu hanging on the ropes at 159 for six after the second day of their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal match here on Sunday.
Tamil Nadu have a long batting line-up but none of their top order batters showed gumption to fight out on a rather tricky surface.
C Andre Siddharth, nephew of former Tamil Nadu batter Sridharan Sharath, played a lone hand with an impressive 65 off 89 balls (10×4, 2×6) but he did not have any support from the other end.It was a major reason behind Tamil Nadu still trailing by a considerable 194 runs. (PTI)
