Gurkeerat celebrates India call-up with double ton vs Railways

High on confidence after his maiden call-up to the Indian ODI team, young Gurkeerat Singh Mann smashed his way to an unbeaten double hundred on a single day as Punjab piled up a mammoth 604 for five against Railways before declaring their first innings.
Such was Gurekeerat's dominance during his 205-ball-201 that Punjab scored 339 runs on the single day. Gurkeerat hit 25 fours and five sixes in his innings and added 306 runs with wicketkeeper-batsman Gitansh Khera (102) with nine fours and a six.
Before Gurkeerat scored the first double of the Ranji season, it was Uday Kaul (112) and Mandeep Singh (109), who had scored tons on a placid batting wicket.

The only unfortunate player to miss out was skipper Yuvraj Singh (23), who offered a simple return catch to Karn Sharma (1/115). Pacers Krishnakant Upadhhyay (0/121) and Ranjit Mali (1/149) were all hammered to submission by Gurkeerat, who surpassed his previous best score of 157.
At stumps, Railways were 14 for no loss.
