At CCI, Maharashtra rode on [Kedar Jadhav](https://www.indiatvnews.com/topic/kedar-jadhav)'s second century in five innings to overcome an early scare and post 314 for six against Mumbai. Opting to bat, Tamil Nadu lost the wicket of Narayan Jagadeesan in the second over of the day. Maharashtra lost Pavan Shah before they could open their account while there No.3, Naushad Shaikh, also fell cheaply for 12 with the team's score reading 23/2. He ended the day with none for 36. However, the left-arm spinner remained wicketless on Day 1. Jadeja, who was out of action for almost 6 months, bowled 17 overs on the opening day of the match against Tamil Nadu.

In his first match in five months, the 34-year-old captained Saurashtra, and bowled 17 overs without a wicket, against Tamil Nadu in Chennai.

In the third session, the pattern played out once again as the 34-year-old gave enough breathing space to himself before coming on towards the end of play to bowl five more overs and end the day with 17-2-36-0. He only resumed bowling in the first week of January, so in terms of skill, Jadeja still had plenty to do and it showed right through the day, where he sent down 17 overs without getting a wicket.

The former are already out of the tournament and the latter have already made it to the quarterfinals.

The pitch was slow with odd spots where the ball lifted off when presented with the seam.

And one can expect them to be patient and stick to their plans as they did on Tuesday — bowl out the overs, give minimal runs and plug away one wicket at a time. So, I understood that the nature of the wicket is very slow, it was slightly gripping and turning, so it was not easy to play off the backfoot also. Even the singles were difficult because the outfield was very slow and they did not spread the field," said Indrajith, who was batting on 45 at stumps. "When I went in and tried to be aggressive with the spinners, I was not able to. The run-making was not easy, nor was facing the tight-knit bowling from one of the experienced attacks in the domestic circuit. Short run-ups, similar release points, attacking the bat-pad and the stumps, completing his over in a couple of minutes as he always does.
