In the opening session of a Ranji Trophy match, Uttar Pradesh’s Priyansh Arya scored 199 runs before being dismissed, nearly reaching a double century.
Priyansh Arya, the young opener for Uttar Pradesh, put on a remarkable 199 in the first day's play of a Ranji Trophy match, falling just short of a double century. The innings was a standout moment in a game that also saw fellow batsman Shubman Gill dismissed early, highlighting a mixed day for the batting line‑up.
Arya’s 199 was built on a combination of patience and aggression, with several boundaries and a few sixes punctuating his run‑scoring spree. His dismissal came after a well‑placed shot, ending his innings at a score that is among the highest for a single day in the tournament’s recent history.
