Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has slammed his seventh century in First-Class cricket. Gaikwad reached the three-figure mark on Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC,

Walking in at number five for Mumbai at the loss of skipper Ajinkya Rahane who looked well set at 31, Shreyas Iyer steered Mumbai past Maharashtra’s first-innings score alongside young opener Ayush Mhatre,

Iyer was a key player for India across formats last year, particularly shining in the World Cup, where he scored 468 runs, including two centuries and three half-centuries.

The century marked an end to a long drought for Shreyas Iyer, who has been excluded from India's Test set-up since India's home Test series against England in early 2024.
