The second round of Ranji Trophy fixtures continued on Sunday.
Gurjapneet Singh wrote himself into the record books by taking a hat-trick for Tamil Nadu against Nagaland, running through the top-order for his wickets. The left-arm quick is only the seventh bowler to take a hat-trick for Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy.
He is also the third bowler to take a hat-trick in this round of the Ranji Trophy. Arjun Sharma and Mohit Jangra both took hat-tricks for Railways against Assam on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Karun Nair scored his first century since returning to Karnataka, powering his side to 371 with an unbeaten 174 against Goa.
Services also defeated Assam by eight wickets in a match that lasted just 90 overs, making it the shortest match in Ranji Trophy history.
