Abhirath Reddy came close to a century but fell short, scoring 97 runs in 140 balls with 12 fours and one six. Alongside Rahul Radesh, who made 72, the Hyderabad pair built a 154-run second-wicket stand, keeping the home team in the hunt for the first innings lead against Punjab in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at Gymkhana Ground on Tuesday. Punjab, after a strong start, posted 431 in 124.5 overs, with Salil Arora scoring 151 and Umesh Yadav remaining not out on 37. Hyderabad, in reply, reached 193 for two at close of play, with Reddy and Radesh playing crucial roles. Chama Milind's four-wicket spell in the morning session had left Punjab in trouble at 315 for nine, but Arora and Yadav turned the tide. Reddy battled cramps during his innings but maintained composure, showcasing his resilience and skill.
