In a Ranji Trophy match at Holkar Stadium, Madhya Pradesh’s spinner Saransh Jain delivered a career-best performance, taking seven wickets for 40 runs in a single innings. His bowling helped dismantle the Bihar batting lineup, which was restricted to just 99 runs in its first innings.

During the match, Jain also reached a significant milestone by claiming his 200th first-class wicket, with Aditya Raj being his 200th victim. The Bihar team struggled significantly, with nine of their eleven batsmen failing to reach double figures. Mangal Mahrour was the top scorer for Bihar with 42 runs.

Madhya Pradesh’s bowling attack was bolstered by fast bowler Avesh Khan, who claimed two wickets in the opening over and finished with a total of eight wickets across three innings in the tournament. This dominant display strengthens Madhya Pradesh’s position in the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 tournament.
