Round 1 of the Ranji matches have finished, and here is how the players in my Player watch series (batsmen, bowlers and all rounders) went -
| S Badrinath | 72* |
| A Chopra | 16 and 32 |
| S Raina | 203 |
| M Tiwary | 203 |
| C Pujara | 64 and 109 |
| M Vijay | 4 |
| M Kaif | 4 |
| R Bose | 1 for 83 and 0 for 45 |
| M Patel | 2 for 22 |
| YoMahesh | 1 for 81 |
| P Chawla | 1 for 44 and 3 for 89 69 |
| P Ojha | 4 for 151 35 |
| R Ashwin | 6 for 133 51* |
| I Abdulla | 0 for 39 and 3 for 73 |
| P Patel | 49 and 62 |
| J Sharma | 4 for 64 and 2 for 57 7 and 16 |
Of the lot, Raina and Tiwary had outstanding double centuries. Badrinath came out to bat in spite of food poisoning and shows the kind of commitment he has. Pujara has also played to his potential in round 1 scoring a 50 and a hundred. As the list shows there are some notable failures like Kaif, Bose and Chopra, but this is just the first game of the season…
Of the others not in my list, but whom I am still watching, Pankaj Singh took a ten wicket haul - 5 for 43 in the first innings and 5 for 110 in the second.
