Gujarat collapse on Day One

Unable to capitalise on being inserted by Baroda, Gujarat collapsed to 212 all out on Day One of their Ranji Trophy league match at Vadodara.

Although the visitors started off well, none of the batsmen were able to convert starts into big scores. Only skipper Mukund Parmar offered any resistance, and he too fell, having made 46. Kirat Damani made a quickfire 43 lower down the order, but the runs failed to boost Gujarat to a significant total.

For Baroda, Tushar Arothe and Shekhar Joshi took three wickets apiece, hastening the end of the first innings. In their batting reply, current Ranji champions Baroda were 8 for no loss at stumps, with both openers unbeaten on four.
