<p>The 33-year-old Nair, who has been in stellar form, brought up his 22nd first-class century. This knock follows his century against Hyderabad in the previous round, and it adds to his four consecutive hundreds in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy.</p>
<p>Nair&rsquo;s knock of 100 not out came off 180 balls and included 14 boundaries and one six, once again proving his class and consistency.</p>

<h2>Nidheesh claims five</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, medium pacer MD Nidheesh scalped five wickets to help Kerala limit Jammu &amp; Kashmir to 228-8 on Day One in Pune. Nidheesh (5-56) spelt trouble for J&amp;K batters from the start, picking up wickets at regular intervals after Kerala opted to field.</p>
<p>He accounted for the wickets of openers Shubham Khajuria, Yawer Hassan, Vivrant Sharma, wicketkeeper Kanhaiya Wadhwan and Lone Nasir Muzaffar.</p>
<h2>Saurashtra out for 216</h2>
<p>In another match, skipper Chintan Gaja bowled a probing line to grab four wickets as Gujarat restricted <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ranji-trophy-ravindra-jadeja-set-to-feature-in-the-saurashtras-match-23467968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Saurashtra</strong></a> to a lowly 216 to gain upper-hand in Rajkot. At stumps, Gujarat were 21 for no loss with both openers &mdash; veteran Priyank Panchal (11 batting) and young turk Arya Desai (10 batting) &mdash; safely negotiating the five over towards the fag end of the day.</p>
