The Buchi Babu Trophy 2025 kicked off with a bang as Maharashtra faced off against Chhattisgarh—and the day ended with a surprise twist. Star opener Ruturaj Gaikwad rolled his arm over and struck gold, picking up a wicket in the final over of the day!
Teammate Prithvi Shaw, now representing Maharashtra, looked sharp in the field with three impressive catches, adding to the team’s dominant outing.
Earlier, spinners Hitesh Walunj and Vicky Ostwal starred with three wickets each, but Chhattisgarh’s lower order resisted late into the day before Gaikwad’s golden arm broke through.
