Bengal reduced Kerala to 53 for four while chasing 355 on day three of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match. Pradipta Pramanik took all four wickets to fall.

Bengal’s Shahbaz Ahmed scored 121 and took two wickets while Mohammed Shami took three for 20 as Kerala reached 101 for six at stumps in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match.

Kerala heads into its Ranji Trophy 2026-27 Elite Group C clash against Bengal after an innings win over Odisha. The match takes place at the KCA ground in Mangalapuram on Monday.

Mohammed Shami, 36, was left out of India’s Test and ODI squads for the New Zealand tour and did not play for Bengal against Services in Palam. He says his absence was due to a spin-friendly pitch, not fitness, and that he still hopes for a national recall.

The 2026-27 Ranji Trophy began on 11 October. Uttar Pradesh and Baroda won by an innings, Ravindra Jadeja scored a century for Saurashtra and Mohammed Shami took four wickets for Bengal.
