The collapse might be attributed to the batters’ lack of utility, aside from opener and left-hander B. Sachin’s dismissal. He was a tad unlucky because the ball from pacer Sahil Raj (two for 8) stored low to uproot his off-stump on the very first ball of the Tamil Nadu innings.

Tamil Nadu was completely tased, then, with the lack of 4 wickets in a 15-ball span. Debutant pacer Jatin Kumar Pandey (three for 10) had a two-wicket burst within the eighth over. Skipper and opener Jagadeesan (3) edged to Shikhar Mohan at gully, and three balls later, Pradosh Ranjan Paul (9) minimize straight to Sahil at level.
B. Indrajith was bowled via the gate for a first-ball duck off a fuller supply from Sahil within the ninth over, and Andre Siddarth (2) was trapped leg earlier than by Jatin within the tenth over. On 14 for 5 in 9.4 overs, Tamil Nadu was diminished to focussing on saving the match.
Rain halted play since tea, and later the day’s remaining schedule was finally known as off.
Earlier, Jharkhand was bowled out for 419 as left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh completed with figures of 4 for 71.
Ishan Kishan (173, 247b, 15×4, 6×6) flicked a six to deep sq. leg off the primary ball of the day from Sandeep Warrier after Tamil Nadu opted for a brand new ball. Warrier later confronted Kishan with a brief ball, which was hooked for a six over the wonderful leg fielder. Kishan introduced up his 150 in model, pulling a brief ball from Gurjapneet for a six over the backward sq. leg fielder.

He prolonged his seventh-wicket stand with Sahil Raj (77, 183b, 7×4, 2×6) to 214 earlier than tamely edging debutant pacer R.S. Ambrish to Shahrukh Khan at first slip.
