Avi Barot scored an unbeaten century as Saurashtra reached 286 for three at stumps on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy Group B match against Rajasthan here today.
Put in to bat, Saurashtra did not have an ideal start as they lost both the openers -- Kishan Parmar (12) and Snell Patel (17) cheaply.
But Barot and Robin Uthappa bailed Saurashtra out of trouble with a crucial 126-run stand for the third wicket.
Uthappa fell after scoring 59 runs from 101 deliveries that included 11 hits to the fence.
Barot remained unbeaten on 128 off 255 balls, studded with 18 boundaries.
Giving Barot company at the close of play was Sheldon Jackson on 54.
