Saurashtra vs Gujarat Live Score, Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal Day 3 (Saurashtra Cricket Team vs Gujarat Cricket Team): Hello and welcome to the live blog of the third day’s play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal match between Saurashtra and Gujarat. The match is taking place at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot and is being live televised on the Sports 18 network. The live streaming is available on the Jio Cinema app and website in India.

Manan Hingrajia and Jaymeet Patel, the orthodox yet effective pair of southpaws, added 134 runs for the fourth wicket to put Gujarat in complete command against Saurashtra at stumps on the second day.

Gujarat ended the second day’s play at 260 for 4 and are currently 44 runs ahead in their first innings with an aim to get a sizeable first innings lead.

Hingrajia (83 off 219 balls) and all-rounder Jaymeet (88 batting off 147 balls) came together when Gujarat were in a spot at 78 for 3 but two the left-handers doggedly handled the seasoned Saurashtra attack to take the visitors over and above the home team’s paltry score of 216.

Saurashtra seamers Jaydev Unadkat and Chirag Jani did take advantage of a slow start by Gujarat as they crawled to 78 in 38 overs, but Hingrajia and Jaymeet showed a lot of composure in handling Unadkat and company.

The only bowlers who kept Hingrajia on backfoot were Prerak Mankad and Chirag Jani.
