Ranji Trophy: Khare keeps Chhattisgarh in the game after Harpreet’s seven-for puts Punjab on top NEW CHANDIGARH: Amandeep Khare produced two contrasting essays on Tuesday and ensured Chhattisgarh lived to fight another day against Punjab in their Ranji Trophy second-round fixture at the New PCA Stadium here. His second effort required him to drop anchor after a sudden top-order slump, and with an attritional 89-ball 37, Khare took the visiting side to 123 for three at stumps on day three after it was asked to follow-on. Ayush Pandey (59 batting, 161b, 8x4, 1x6) showed gumption for a fight and put price on his wicket, joining Khare in a 74-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Openers Pandey and Sanidhya Hurkat had chopped off 48 out of the first-innings deficit of 250 when Emanjot Chahal picked two wickets off as many balls to throw a spanner in the works.
