**NEW DELHI, INDIA** – A dramatic day in cricket saw India establish a commanding 145-run lead over an unnamed opponent on Day 2 of a Test match. However, the international spotlight was quickly overshadowed by stunning upsets in domestic tournaments across India.
In a remarkable turnaround on Day 3, Afghanistan surprisingly surged ahead by 52 runs against an unnamed opponent, needing only 64 runs off 47 balls to secure victory.
Meanwhile, the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic first-class competition, witnessed a series of thrilling victories for underdogs. Tamil Nadu achieved a comprehensive 10-wicket win with over 240 balls remaining. Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, Bengal, and Maharashtra all secured convincing victories, with each team achieving their win with a significant number of balls to spare. These victories highlight the unpredictable nature of the domestic game and the impressive performances by several teams.
On the international front, South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton anchored their innings with a magnificent double century (200+) during Day 2, despite an early wicket for Pakistan’s Mohammad Abbas.
