On a day where fortunes swung from one side to another, Chirag Gandhi lifted his game to an elevated level and compiled his maiden first-class hundred to guide Gujarat to safer waters in the Irani Cup. When the 26-year-old came out to bat, Gujarat were in a dicey situation, having lost four wickets.

However, he initially navigated the threat of the able pace duo - Pankaj Singh and Kaul. But with Rest of India's pacers striking at regular intervals, Gandhi changed gears and improvised. He ended the day undefeated on an impressive 136. Manprit Juneja also composed a well-measured 47.

For Rest of India, Pankaj and Kaul bowled with perseverance and utilized the helpful conditions to good effect. In fact, the duo shared seven of the eight wickets to fall. However, they couldn't separate the ninth wicket pair of Gandhi and Hardik Patel. Gujarat's think-tank would hope that Gandhi can stitch useful stands with the tail-enders and extend the total to 350.

Here is the report for Day 1.

Gandhi is certainly playing with freedom on Day 2. He danced down the track to thump the towering giant Pankaj for a boundary. He then chipped down the pitch for the second time in a row to slap the pacer through the off-side. He also strung together a 50-run stand for the ninth wicket with Hardik Patel.

Gandhi soon reached his 150 with a couple off Kaul's bowling. His innings has slowly but surely propelled Gujarat to a relative position of strength. Rest of India desperately need a wicket.

It has to be noted that Hardik was unbeaten on nine yesterday. He is still on nine! It exemplifies how well Gandhi has farmed the strike and when presented with the opportunity, has landed the big shot.

Eventually, Gandhi's splendid innings came to an end. It was a knock of the highest quality. In particular, the way he broadened his game after reaching the three-figure mark took one's breath away.

The 26-year-old gets a generous round of applause from his team-mates as he walks back to the pavilion. He cracked 22 fours and two sixes in his stroke-filled innings. On the other hand, Kaul too deserves credit as he has ploughed away to pick up a five-fer.

Rest of India continued to drop a lot of a chances. Mukund grassed a sitter at third slip off Kaul, with Ishwar Chowdhary getting a reprieve. Nadeem then dropped a straightforward chance at fourth slip as Hardik got lucky. Pankaj was the bowler on that occasion. He was late to anticipate the chance.

There is a feeling that Pankaj doesn't get the required support from the slip cordon when he plays for Rajasthan. Unfortunately for him, even when he plays for RoI, slip fielders seem to fluff chances. On the other hand, Gujarat's tail continues to wag.

Finally, RoI have closed out Gujarat's innings for 358. Ishwar tried to slog but could only get a top-edge. The ball swirled in the air for a while but Tiwary kept his eyes on it and grabbed the catch. Pankaj Singh bagged four wickets while Kaul took five. However, if RoI had taken all their chances, they would have had better figures. The wicket has flattened out quite a bit and RoI would hope to notch up a sizeable total.

Samit Gohel has pouched a stunner at first slip. It seamed away a touch from Gaja, with Mukund getting an outside edge. Gohel anticipated it brilliantly and moved to his left quickly to snaffle it with his left-handed. Mukund survived a few close calls for LBW and looked out of sorts.

Akhil Herwadkar and Pujara guided RoI to Lunch. The Gujarat camp would be the happier of the two sides. Gandhi's sizzling 169 drove Gujarat to 358. Then Gaja and Gohel combined to send Mukund back to the pavilion. Gujarat's bowlers have been largely been disciplined and have struck to theit task well.

Gaja and Thadani bowled short as Pujara pulled and cut it to the boundary boards. Gujarat have been largely below par with the ball after the break. The wicket looks good for batting and the duo of Pujara and Herwadkar will try to cash in.

Just when Pujara and Herwadkar looked set to take RoI to a good platform, Hardik Patel nipped out the latter. The credit also has to go to Raval at FSL for snaffling a blinder. Herwadkar played a fine flick shot but Raval showed tremendous reflexes and pouched it with both hands.

Pujara and Nair essayed some wristy drives as Rest of India continued to whittle away at the lead. Gujarat's players body language didn't look good on the field. However, Gaja lifted the spirits by removing Nair. It nipped back in a touch to take the inside edge with Nair attempting an expansive drive. Rest of India were 137 for 3 at the completion of the second session. The wicket of Nair has meant that the match is evenly poised.

Pujara showed the required nous to compose a well-constructed fifty. It has been a trademark innings from him so far. Pujara presented a stout blade to defend good deliveries and when provided with the opportunity, cracked pulls, drives and neatly played cuts.

After gauging the conditions, Manoj Tiwary opened up his shoulders by lofting Hardik Patel for a couple of boundaries down the ground. The sound of the willow against the leather gave an inkling that it came off the sweet spot of the bat. With a high back-lift he danced down the track and timed it to perfection.

Oh, commentator's curse. After looking good for a while Tiwary has been prised out LBW by Thadani. It nipped back in sharply to rap Tiwary on the pads. The umpire raised the finger after giving it a thought. It might have taken out the bails.

Mohit Thadani has made quite an impression on his first-class debut. The all-rounder snared the big wicket of Saha by dismissing him leg-before. Saha played down the wrong line and was struck in front of stumps, The Gujarat camp is ecstatic.

Ishwar Choudhary has picked up the prized scalp of Pujara. No wonder, the Gujarat side is jubilant as everyone runs to the veteran seamer to congratulate. Pujara handled the short ball quite well in his innings. However, this time around he could only eke out a faint edge with Parthiv taking the catch.

RoI are seven down for just 191. Gujarat would fancy their chances of garnering a sizeable elad.
