Karnataka’s Smaran R scored his first double hundred in First-Class cricket during a Ranji Trophy 2024-25 match against Punjab at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Friday.
The 21-year-old brought up his double ton in 270 balls, a stroke-filled knock which included 25 fours and three sixes. Soon after, he was removed by Jass Inder before Tea as the batter finished the innings with a score of 203 off 277 balls.

At Tea, Karnataka leads Punjab by 365 runs as the Mayank Agarawal-skippered side sits at 420/7 after two sessions on Day 2.
