Bengal batter Sudip Kumar Gharami missed out on a well-deserved triple-hundred after he was cleaned up by Shaik Rasheed for 299 during the Ranji Trophy quarter-final match against Andhra at Bengal Cricket Academy Ground, Kalyani.
Bengal thoroughly dominated Andhra in the first innings and posted a mammoth 629 to take a lead of 334 runs. The side lost a some wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 153/5 before Gharami joined hands with Sumanta Gupta to stitch a stand of 165 runs for the sixth wicket.
Gupta struck 81 while Gharami continued his form. Wicket-keeper batter Shakir Habib Gandhi also made a valuable contribution with 95 while Mohammed Shami chipped in a quick-fire 53 off 33. Shaik Rasheed scalped four wickets that included the dismissal of Gharami. It was a straight delivery that kept low and the right-handed batter completely missed it as it disturbed the wood work behind.
