Pradosh Ranjan Paul Scores 136 as Tamil Nadu Reach 313 Against Uttarakhand
· Sports · Indian Express, ESPNCricinfo
Tamil Nadu batter Pradosh Ranjan Paul scored 136 runs against Uttarakhand on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy match in Chennai on October 19, 2026. He was batting on 37 overnight and built on his start to convert it into a century, helping Tamil Nadu reach 313. Paul has worked with coach Tanveer Jabbar to curb his tendency to play rash shots after getting settled, a habit that previously limited his conversion of starts into big scores. Despite a strong off-side game, he has often lost his wicket by chasing drives and cuts. Over the last three Ranji seasons, he has scored just four centuries despite averaging 54.04, with tallies of 525, 484, and 564 runs in successive seasons.
Why it matters
Pradosh's century shows progress in addressing a long-standing technical flaw, which could help him fulfil his potential in domestic cricket. His improved discipline may increase his chances of selection for higher honours, including India A or national team consideration.
