Gurjapneet Singh credits net sessions with Gill and Kohli for Ranji success

Gurjapneet Singh returned from India A duty the night before the match. No training on Saturday, yet the left-arm pacer still took 4 for 34 on day one against Uttarakhand at Chepauk.

He traced the swing and the angles to the hours he'd just spent bowling at Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. The 27-year-old finished with career-best figures; Tamil Nadu rolled Uttarakhand for 134. Captain R Sai Kishore chipped in with 4 for 40. At stumps Tamil Nadu were 85 for 2.
