Ranji Trophy 2025-26 Day 2 Recap: Day 2 of the 91st edition of India’s premier domestic first-class tournament delivered plenty of drama and stellar performances. Delhi batters put Hyderabad under the pump, piling up a massive 529, powered by sensational double centuries from Ayush Doseja and Sanat Sangwan. Mumbai, 42-time Ranji champions, showed their class against Jammu and Kashmir in Elite Group D, amassing 386 in their first innings and already reducing J&K to 273 for 7.

The day also saw standout centuries from players like RCB skipper Rajat Patidar and Ishan Kishan, who continued their fine form. With 138 matches lined up this season, the tournament is already brimming with exciting moments and star performances.

Boom! Bora strikes big! Akash Deep’s lively knock comes to an end at 19, having smashed four crisp boundaries, but he’s finally trapped, caught by Avneesh Sudha off Bora’s magic.

Bengal are hanging on at 307/8 after 102.1 overs against Uttarakhand, holding a slender lead of 86. The tail’s up next, and every run will count.

Play was set to begin at 10:30 am on Day 3 in Coimbatore, but rain had other plans. The wet outfield delayed the start as groundsmen worked diligently with rollers and sweepers to get the pitch ready. When action finally got underway, Tamil Nadu found themselves staring at a massive deficit, trailing by 401 runs.

Shahrukh Khan’s day is over almost as soon as it began! Facing Sahil Raj in the second over, he goes for a drive but ends up getting bowled through the gate, off-stump uprooted and broken. The groundsmen quickly replace it with a new stump as Tamil Nadu wobble at 32/6 in 15.3 overs against Jharkhand.

Sanju Samson is on fire! The Kerala captain drives a full ball from Arshin Kulkarni to cover and brings up a well-deserved fifty. Kerala, though, are in a spot of bother against Maharashtra, needing a steady partnership between Samson and Azhar to steady the innings. They are 113/4 in 29 overs.

Kerala suffer a major setback as skipper Azhar departs, nicking one straight to the keeper off Ostwal. The innings now stands at 141/6 in 36 overs, with Kerala still 98 runs behind Maharashtra.
