Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy 2026/27 round 4 turned into a complete batting paradise, with the record books being rewritten as three different players smashed double centuries. From Gujarat's Urvil Patel to Punjab's Sanvir Singh and Tamil Nadu's Pradosh Ranjan Paul, the day was defined by commanding totals and batters dominating the bowling attacks across the country.
The Double Century Club
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the surge of massive individual scores. Urvil Patel, the Chennai Super Kings wicketkeeper-batter, led the charge for Gujarat with a magnificent 210*. His effort, supported by Aarya Desai (95) and Vishal Jayswal (77), propelled Gujarat to a declared total of 534/9 against Kerala. Kerala found the conditions challenging in response, sliding to 74/3 by stumps, still trailing by 460 runs.
In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Paul mirrored the dominance with a towering 208, helping Tamil Nadu declare at a mammoth 571/7. Ajith Ram added an unbeaten 115 to the tally. The momentum shifted quickly as Sai Kishore tore through the Chandigarh top order, leaving the hosts reeling at 49/3 and trailing by 522 runs.
Meanwhile, Punjab displayed sheer batting power against Andhra. Sanvir Singh hammered a brilliant 205, while Salil Arora (144) and Emanjot Singh Chahal (122) also crossed the century mark. Punjab declared at a staggering 592/9, leaving Andhra at a precarious 20/0 after nine overs at the close of play.
Karnataka and Mizoram Take Control
Karnataka has put Assam on the back foot in Guwahati. After bowling Assam out for a meager 135, Karnataka surged to 496/5. KV Aneesh remained unbeaten on 142, while skipper Mayank Agarwal (72) and Aneeshwar Gautam (83) provided strong support. Manvanth Kumar, continuing his fine form, remained unbeaten on 53, extending Karnataka's lead to 361 runs.
In another high-scoring affair, Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar continued his extraordinary run of form. Having previously made headlines with a quadruple century, Sutar smashed an unbeaten 135 against Arunachal Pradesh—his third consecutive century in the tournament. Mizoram reached 366/3, securing an 81-run first-innings lead over Arunachal Pradesh's 285.
