Badrinath, Niraj hit centuries; Raghavendran bags six

CHENNAI, JULY 8. S. Badrinath (Jolly Rovers) and Niraj Patel (Indian Bank) notched up centuries while Parry's off-spinner N. Raghavendran (six for 45) shone on the opening day of the second round in the SPIC-TNCA first division league here on Thursday.

S. Badrinath's 164 (243b, 28x4) was the highlight as Rovers ended the day at 281 for four against Globe Trotters. The No. 3 batsman's hundred and his 198-run partnership for the fourth wicket in 62.2 overs with D. Vinay Kumar (74 batting, 191b, 6x4, 2x6) placed Rovers, which elected to bat, in a comfortable position, at the MRF-Pachaiyappa's ground.

Parry's off-spinner N. Raghavendran's six-wicket haul and opener Ritesh Jaiswal's 90 (194b, 8x4) for SICAL were the noteworthy performances at the Viveka-SICAL ground after the host opted to bat. SICAL was 202 for nine at close.

Niraj Patel (102, 114b, 18x4, 6x1) sparkled at No. 3 for Indian Bank against SPIC at SPIC-YMCA. Indian Bank, which won the toss, was 247 for four at stumps.
