Shahrukh Khan smashes 194, Cheteshwar Pujara registers duck on Day 3 of Ranji Trophy 2022

Shahrukh Khan and Cheteshwar Pujara experienced contrasting fortunes on Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy 2022.

Tamil Nadu's Shahrukh Khan continued his dazzling domestic form, clobbering 194 from 148 balls in his team’s Ranji Trophy 2022 encounter against Delhi in Guwahati.

Responding to Delhi’s first innings total of 452, it seemed like Tamil Nadu would concede the lead, losing their sixth wicket on 296. However, Shahrukh clubbed 20 fours and 10 sixes in yet another demonstration of his brute hitting in the high-scoring Ranji Trophy encounter.

B. Indrajith (117) and N. Jagadeesan (50) also chipped as Tamil Nadu posted a total of 494.
