In a thrilling Ranji Trophy 2026-27 encounter, Madhya Pradesh emerged victorious over Bihar with an impressive bowling display and a resolute batting performance. The match saw the Madhya Pradesh innings close at 261/3 in 57 overs, while Bihar suffered defeat, being dismissed for just 99 runs. The standout performer on the field was Saransh Jain, who wreaked havoc with the ball, claiming a remarkable 7/40 from just 13 overs.
His efforts were instrumental in dismantling Bihar's batting order. Avesh Khan also contributed with two crucial early wickets. Despite a valiant effort from Mangal Mahrour, who scored 42 runs off 87 balls, Bihar's batting faltered. Kumar Kartikeya claimed the final wicket, finishing with figures of 1/20. In response, Madhya Pradesh posted a formidable total of 261/3, led by the stellar partnership between Saksham Purohit and Yash Dubey.
Purohit's unbeaten innings of 113 off 166 balls, coupled with Dubey's attacking 84 off 94 balls, saw them put on an impressive 146 runs for the opening wicket. This partnership was instrumental in nullifying Bihar's total, as they maintained their advantage by wiping out the entire opposition score without losing a wicket. Although Bihar managed to stabilize the game briefly when Amod Yadav dismissed Chanchal Rathore for 28 and Shubham Sharma was bowled for a duck in the same over, putting Madhya Pradesh at 206/3, Purohit's resilience and support from skipper Rajat Patidar, unbeaten on 21, ensured that Madhya Pradesh sealed the win comfortably by 162 runs.
