Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], November 4 (ANI): Vidarbha batter Yash Rathod's purple patch in the domestic circuit continued with a blistering century against Tamil Nadu in Round 3 of the Ranji Trophy.

As Rathod's golden run continued, he overtook Vijay Hazare and Vinod Kambli in the list for the highest first-class average for any Indian batter with at least 2,000 runs.

Vidarbha and Tamil Nadu are squaring off at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Ground in Coimbatore. Tamil Nadu crawled its way to 291 despite Pradosh Ranjan Paul (113) and Baba Indrajith's (96) 179-run stand for the fourth wicket. Vidarbha speedster Nachiket Bhute stood out with figures of 5/65 and was the prime architect behind Tamil Nadu's downfall.
