Less than every week after he blazed away to the quickest ODI double century towards Bangladesh, Kishan was an image of grit and dedication in a 195-ball 132 (9×4) as he led Jharkhand’s restoration from being 114/4 to 340 all out.

Giving him help was Saurabh Tiwary who missed out on a century by simply three runs after being cleaned up by Jalaj Saxena.

The duo placed on 202 runs for the fifth wicket to revive Jharkhand after Basil Thampi (3/55) and Vaisakh Chandran (2/81) rocked the top-order to have them reeling at 56/3.
