Armaan Jaffer
Armaan Jaffer’s scintillating ton ensured Mumbai gained a 52-run lead against Andhra Pradesh on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group ‘B’ encounter in Vizianagaram. The right-handed batsman batted throughout the day, scoring 116 not out with 16 fours and a solitary six. Wickets kept falling around him but he batted with grit to ensure his side gained an early advantage in the match.
Resuming the day at 25-1, Yashasvi Jaiswal played a fine hand with Jaffer, stitching together a partnership of 75 runs. The left-hander was trapped leg-before on 45 to AP’s off-spinner Shoaib Md Khan who picked up two wickets for 70 runs. Captain Ajinkya Rahane also played a fine knock of 44 before becoming pacer KV Sasikanth’s second victim. Sasikanth was the pick of the bowlers for AP with figures of 3-50. After Rahane fell, the lower middle-order didn’t show any composure.
