Kerala started well with the ball but lost the momentum in the middle.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"content\">\n<p class=\"artconfp\">Vidarbha had a shaky start against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 final. In the first innings, the Akshay Wadkar-led side lost two quick wickets of Parth Rekhade and Darshan Nalkande, as the team was reduced to 11\/2. Soon after that, opener Dhruv Shorey too made his way back to the pavilion, after scoring 16 runs as Vidarbha was 24\/3 after 12.5 overs. Kerala bowlers were dominating in the middle, particularly MD Nidheesh, who clinched two wickets, while Eden Apple Tom picked one.<\/p>\n<p>However, Danish Malewar and Karun Nair managed to stabilize Vidarbha\u2019s innings and bring back the momentum. 21-year-old Malewar, who scored back-to-back half-centuries in the quarter-final and semi-final stepped up, scoring a terrific century. The veteran Karun supported him well in the middle, as the duo stitched a crucial 215-run partnership. None of the Kerala bowlers managed to break the partnership, and it can very well cost them the Ranji title.<\/p>\n<p>Malewar remained not out for 138 runs after Day 1. Karun, on the other hand, departed after scoring 86 runs off 188 deliveries. A miscommunication in the middle ended in him being run out in the 82nd over of the day. He had a stunning season with the bat for Vidarbha and could have played a key part in the team posting a massive total on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Karun was disappointed with the nature of his dismissal as he missed a well-deserved century. Nevertheless, his partnership with Malewar helped Vidarbha remain in a comfortable position. They lost the Ranji Trophy final against Mumbai in 2024, and the players look to have learned from their previous mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Malewar will be aiming to continue to play brand of cricket on Day 2 and help Vidarbha establish their authority with the bat. The hosts are 254\/4 after Day 1. Kerala meanwhile need quick wickets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/danish-malewar-scores-century-karun-nair-made-86-as-vidarbha-in-firm-position-against-kerala-in-ranji-trophy-final-2025-02-26-978118\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danish Malewar scored a century and Karun Nair made 86 runs as Vidarbha posted 254\/4 after Day 1 in the Ranji Trophy final at VCA Stadium in Nagpur.
