Uttarakhand crush Jharkhand by an innings and 6 runs to reach their first-ever Ranji semifinal
Uttarakhand produced a dominant performance to seal their first-ever Ranji Trophy semifinal berth. After bowling Jharkhand out for 235, Uttarakhand's batting lineup piled on 371 — a commanding 136-run first-innings lead built on contributions from Kunal Chandela (68) and Jagadeesha Suchith. Jharkhand, forced to follow on, could only muster 130 in the second innings, falling 6 runs short of even making Uttarakhand bat again. An innings defeat on home soil — a crushing end for Jharkhand, and a historic moment for Uttarakhand cricket.
