VIJAY HAZARE TROPHYSanju Samson, Rohan Kunnummal tons power Kerala to 8-wicket win over Jharkhand

Sanju Samson did what he does best- score runs- and he was joined by Rohan Kunnummal as Kerala cruised to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Jharkhand in their Vijay Hazare Trophy match on Saturday, powered by centuries from the duo. Chasing a challenging target of 311, Kerala's openers made the contest one-sided from the outset, leaving the Jharkhand bowlers with little room to recover. Samson scored a composed 101 off 95 balls, while Kunnummal played aggressively with a blistering 124 off just 78 deliveries.
