Nishant Kushwah scored a timely 106 (256b, 16x4) and Sahab Yuvraj followed it up an unbeaten 92 (172b, 14x4, 2x6) as Indian Railways chugged along slowly and steadily to finish the opening day at 251 for four against TNCA President’s XI in the all-India Buchi Babu invitation cricket tournament at the Sri Ramakrishna Institutions grounds here on Tuesday.
After losing three wickets early on to pacemen Sandeep Warrier (3/47) and M. Mohammed, Railways went on the defensive. It knew it was all about being patient on a pitch that had some juice in it for the fast bowlers.
