Ranji Trophy 2018-19, Round 4 Day 1, Highlights: As It Happened

It is time for the fourth round of the Ranji Trophy. Three rounds have been completed and while there have been some quality performances from the old warhorses of domestic cricket in the country, some of the new stars have also taken to the stage with vengeance. Yuvraj Singh returning to the Ranji fold ahead of the IPL auctions is one of the highlights going into this round. A record 37 teams, including seven debutants from the northeast, are participating in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. The new teams did feature in the recently held Vijay Hazare Trophy, but playing red-ball cricket will be a tougher challenge as has been witnessed by some of them so far this season.Catch all the highlights here:
