Rest of India pacer Pankaj Singh sent three Gujarat batsmen to the pavilion on the opening day of the Irani Cup at the Brabourne Stadium yesterday. Samit Gohel was trapped leg before for a duck in the very first over of the day, prolific scorer Priyank Panchal (30 off 61 balls) snicked one which moved away to Karun Nair at first slip and later in the day, Chintan Gaja became Pankaj’s second leg-before dismissal.
