In the Elite division, Jammu and Kashmir, Services, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Railways, Kerala, Saurashtra, Vidarbha, Delhi, Haryana, Assam and Uttarakhand notched up victories in the sixth round. But not all of them have bright chances to seal last-eight spots.
While the likes of Vidarbha (Group A), Mumbai (Group B), Karnataka (Group C) and Madhya Pradesh (Group D) are top of their respective groups and poised to advance to the quarter-finals, other heavyweights like defending champions Saurashtra are not in as great a position. Delhi, meanwhile, have had a tournament to forget and are languishing in fifth spot in Group D with just 14 points from six games.
Among India hopefuls and out-of-favour international cricketers, Cheteshwar Pujara went along his merry run-scoring ways. The dour right-hander scored his second hundred of the season against Rajasthan, and is currently placed fourth on the list of highest run-scorers in the tourney this season with 673 runs at an average of 74.77.
Flamboyant Mumbai batter Prithvi Shaw fructified his comeback to professional cricket after an injury layoff, with a slambang century against Chhattisgarh. The 24-year-old right-hander reached his hundred before lunch on day one itself, scoring 159 off 185 balls in a knock that was studded with 18 fours and three sixes. Shaw then followed it up with another decent innings, scoring 45 off 58 balls in the second essay.
