Ranji Trophy 2025, live score and updates, Round 1: Rinku crosses 150, Shaw out for 75

The Karnataka captain has got off to a poor start to his Ranji Trophy campaign, making a 30-ball 2 against Saurashtra. 

India Test batters Devdutt Padikkal and Karun Nair are at the crease.

Ishan Porel took the first wicket - that of Avneesh Sudha - before Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal's double-strike reduced them to 44-3 in 19.2 overs.

Saxena switched from Kerala to Maharashtra ahead of this season. Now he's in at seven to bail his new team out of trouble against his former side.

Punjab are collapsing at the hands of the MP off-spinner, who has now picked up 3-10 from six overs. 

The left-arm quick from Rajasthan has dismissed both of Chhattisgarh's openers in his opening spell, bowling alongside Deepak Chahar.

Skipper Bawane falls for a duck - the fourth in the innings. Their score now reads 5-0 in 3.2 overs with no runs scored off the bat!

Against Uttarakhand, Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep opened the bowling for Bengal, bowling nine overs in tandem at the Eden Gardens. No wickets to show for their efforts so far, but they have kept the runs down. Uttarakhand are 24-0 after 10 overs.

The Punjab opener has been dismissed for four off 11 balls by Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain.

After Shaw and Veer, it was all-rounder Arshin Kulkarni's turn to go on the first ball of the second over. 

Scores of Maharashtra's top three:

Prithvi Shaw - 0(4)
Arshin Kulkarni - 0(1)
Sidhesh Veer - 0(1)

Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Ankit Bawane are now at the crease.

The India Test batter's brother could only last three balls while opening for Mumbai. 

Ajinkya Rahane is in at three.

After trapping Shaw, the Kerala seamer removes No.3 Sidhesh Veer for a golden duck to set himself up for a potential first over hat-trick!

Evenful start to the new season's proceedings as the former India U19 captain first Ranji Trophy outing for Maharashtra ends in disappointing. 

Kerala's MD Nidheesh traps him lbw for 0.

Padikkal came on as a substitute fielder for India on several occasions in the second Test in Delhi, which finished yesterday. 

Less than 24 hours later, he is playing the Ranji Trophy opener for Karnataka in Rajkot.
