WATCH: Rohan Kunnummal's blinder at short cover sends Akshay Karnewar packing in Ranji Trophy final

The action resumed on Day 2 in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 final between Vidarbha and Kerala after the former ended the opening day with 254/4 with Danish Malewar turning out to be the best performer from the day. Malewar engaged in a key partnership with veteran batter Karun Nair to save Vidarbha from a spot of bother. Nair, who was set to gather yet another century against his name, was sent back to the pavilion for 86, courtesy of a brilliant run-out by Kerala's Rohan Kunnummal.

Kunnummal continued his brilliance in the field on Day 2 as well, as Akshay Karnewar was dismissed off a fantastic catch by him on the bowling of Jalaj Saxena. Stationed at short covers, Kunnummal dived towards his left off a drive by Karnewar on the first ball of the 111th over. His acrobatic reflexes handed Kerala the eighth breakthrough in the first innings, as the Sachin Baby-led side seek their first-ever title in the premier red-ball competition.
