Ranji Trophy 2026–27: Chinmay Sutar’s Triple Century and Ayush Badoni’s Double Put Opponents Under Pressure

Day 2 of the 2026–27 Ranji Trophy delivered two standout batting performances, with Mizoram’s Chinmay Sutar recording a remarkable triple century against Nagaland and Delhi captain Ayush Badoni reaching an unbeaten double century against Gujarat. Their innings transformed the outlook of their respective matches, while a busy day across the domestic competition brought important contributions from batters and bowlers in several other fixtures.

Sutar’s marathon effort was the headline performance in the Plate Group match at Sovima. At Palam B Stadium, Badoni continued Delhi’s commanding first-innings display, building another substantial partnership with Sumit Mathur. For supporters following the Ranji Trophy, the day offered plenty to consider: big first-innings totals, resilient lower-order batting and several early signs of how the round’s matches might unfold. Any match prediction, however, remains tentative while teams are still completing their first innings.

Chinmay Sutar Makes Ranji Trophy History for Mizoram

Playing for Mizoram as a guest player, Mumbai-born batter Chinmay Sutar became the first player to score a triple century in the 2026–27 Ranji Trophy season. He reached 300 from 364 balls and was still unbeaten on 318 at lunch on Day 2, having faced 385 deliveries. His innings included 37 fours and five sixes—a display of patience and control that kept Mizoram’s innings moving even as wickets fell at the other end.

Mizoram had lost several batters cheaply, leaving Sutar to shoulder much of the responsibility. Wicketkeeper Jehu Anderson provided valuable support with 69 from 151 balls, while Lalhruaizela added 31. Six other Mizoram batters managed only single-digit scores, underlining how important Sutar’s contribution was to the team’s total.

His concentration was especially evident in the closing stages of the innings. Sutar joined Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak in an unbroken 97-run stand for the final wicket, helping Mizoram reach 489/9. That late partnership added crucial runs and denied Nagaland the chance to finish the innings quickly.

Anil Sanjay Gupta was Nagaland’s leading wicket-taker, finishing with 3/123. Saurav Kumar and Neizekho Rupreo claimed two wickets apiece, but the attack could not find a way past Sutar. Nagaho Chishi kept the scoring relatively tight with an economy rate of 1.80, yet Mizoram’s main batter remained difficult to contain. With 489 already on the board, Mizoram had given its bowlers a substantial platform from which to challenge Nagaland.

Ayush Badoni’s Unbeaten 204 Strengthens Delhi’s Position

Delhi captain Ayush Badoni carried his side beyond the 500-run mark against Gujarat, reaching an unbeaten 204 from 238 balls by lunch on Day 2. He struck 20 fours and two sixes, combining measured defence with timely scoring as Delhi looked to build a first-innings total capable of putting Gujarat under sustained pressure.

Badoni’s stand with Sumit Mathur was central to Delhi’s progress. Mathur was unbeaten on 48 from 123 deliveries, and together the pair added 150 runs without being separated. Their fifth-wicket partnership followed a 234-run stand between Badoni and Priyansh Arya on Day 1. Arya had narrowly missed a double century, scoring 199 from 220 balls before Manan Hingrajia dismissed him.

Gujarat’s bowlers faced a difficult task on a batting-friendly Palam surface. Chintan Gaja conceded 91 runs in 24 overs without taking a wicket, while Siddharth Desai gave away 108 in 23 overs. Hingrajia’s dismissal of Arya was Gujarat’s main breakthrough, but Delhi’s remaining batters continued to take advantage of the conditions. The match picture could change once Gujarat begins its reply, but Delhi’s commanding total gives the hosts a strong early position.

Other Ranji Trophy Round 2 Match Updates

Tamil Nadu Build a Lead Against Uttarakhand

Tamil Nadu moved to 180/2 against Uttarakhand, passing their opponents’ first-innings total. Pradosh Ranjan Paul made 79, while Baba Indrajith reached an unbeaten 50. Their 95-run partnership helped Tamil Nadu settle after the loss of early wickets. They also negotiated the spin of Jagadeesha Suchith and Mayank Mishra without losing a wicket during the session, giving the innings a steady foundation.

Siddhesh Lad and Sarfaraz Khan Steady Mumbai

Mumbai reached 196/3 against Himachal Pradesh, with Siddhesh Lad leading the recovery on 71 and Sarfaraz Khan unbeaten on 24. Musheer Khan was caught behind early, but Lad and Sarfaraz helped restore stability on a flat pitch. Their partnership will be important as Mumbai look to turn a promising start into a substantial first-innings score.

Shaik Rasheed Reaches Fifty in Andhra’s Reply

Andhra batter Shaik Rasheed brought up a half-century from 92 balls against Hyderabad. Hyderabad had already made inroads through Tanay Thyagarajan, who dismissed Hemanth Reddy by stumping and later ran out Ricky Bhui to end a 59-run partnership. Fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Chama Milind continued to test Andhra’s batters, making Rasheed’s composed innings particularly valuable.

Manvanth Kumar’s Maiden Century Lifts Karnataka

Karnataka were bowled out for 342 against Saurashtra after Manvanth Kumar produced a memorable lower-order performance. He scored his maiden first-class century, finishing with 130, and shared a 130-run ninth-wicket partnership with Abhilash Shetty, who contributed 13 from 113 balls. Parth Bhut claimed a five-wicket haul for Saurashtra, while Chetan Sakariya removed Vidwath Kaverappa to complete the innings.

Bengal Spinners Strike; Azharuddeen Shines for Kerala

Bengal’s spin attack put Services under heavy pressure, reducing them to 113/9. Shahbaz Nadeem led the effort with four wickets, leaving Services facing a steep challenge to recover. In another fixture, Kerala benefited from a century by Mohammed Azharuddeen. He added 100 runs for the seventh wicket with Aditya Sarvate, who came close to a half-century before being dismissed.

What Day 2 Means for the Ranji Trophy Round

Sutar’s triple century and Badoni’s double century were the day’s defining performances, but the wider round also highlighted the value of partnerships and lower-order resistance. Mizoram’s last-wicket stand, Karnataka’s ninth-wicket recovery and Kerala’s seventh-wicket partnership all added significant runs when they mattered. Meanwhile, Bengal’s spinners and Hyderabad’s bowlers showed how quickly a match can shift when an attack finds a breakthrough.

As the fixtures continue, the key questions are whether Nagaland and Gujarat can respond to their opponents’ large totals, and whether teams such as Tamil Nadu and Mumbai can convert their developing innings into decisive advantages. The latest scores provide a useful snapshot, but any prediction about the final results will depend on how the next innings unfold—and whether bowlers can make conditions count.
