‘We were not aware’: Goa duo’s Ranji ecstasy turns into world record agony

Goa’s Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle etched their names in Ranji Trophy history, crafting a monumental 606-run partnership against Arunachal Pradesh. Kauthankar’s triple century (314*) and Bakle’s unbeaten 300* propelled Goa to a mammoth 727-2, their highest ever Ranji total. This remarkable feat secured Goa’s return to the Elite group after a dominant performance in the Plate group.
