The duo helps the side reach 205 after it slips to 70 for seven at one stage
Hyderabad’s depth in batting came to the fore as T. Ravi Teja and Tanay Thyagarajan’s 109-run partnership for the eighth wicket rescued the team from dire straits against Bengal in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at the Barabati Stadium here on Friday.
Resuming from 15 for two, Hyderabad was reduced to 70 for seven before Ravi (81 n.o., 196b, 6x4, 2x6) and Tanay (52, 103b, 7x4) scored valuable half-centuries to enable their side to score 205 in the first innings and deny Bengal a big advantage on the second day.
Bengal, which managed a 37-run first innings lead, was at 16 for one in its second essay.
Operating with a fairly new ball in the morning, Bengal seamers put the Hyderabad batters to test frequently. Mukesh, who captured four wickets because of his accuracy and subtle movement, was the pick of the bowlers.
Mukesh improved his overnight figure of two for three by claiming two more. On a track offering dodgy bounce, Himalay Agarwal, beginning from 10, was surprised by a rising delivery and was caught at gully in the fifth over of the day.
