Hyderabad opened its Ranji Trophy 2026-27 campaign with a commanding innings-and-40-run win over Tripura at Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad on Tuesday, 13 October. The result was completed before the scheduled four-day window ended, with Tanay Thyagarajan taking nine wickets and Mohammed Siraj recording his first Ranji Trophy win as Hyderabad captain.
Hyderabad vs Tripura result and scorecard
Hyderabad made 294 in its only innings. Tripura was then dismissed for 134 in the first innings and 120 in the second, leaving Hyderabad with victory by an innings and 40 runs.
Tripura’s two innings added up to 254, leaving the visitors 40 runs short of Hyderabad’s first-innings total. Hyderabad therefore did not need to bat again. The hosts collected seven points, including the bonus point for an innings victory, according to The Hindu’s match report.
Tanay Thyagarajan leads the bowling effort
Tanay Thyagarajan was the central figure in the win. The Hindu reported that he finished with a nine-wicket match haul, including six wickets in Tripura’s second innings. The BBC scorecard lists his second-innings figures as 16.2 overs, five maidens, 52 runs and six wickets.
His spell ended Tripura’s resistance after the visitors had already been bowled out for 134 in the opening innings. Mohammed Siraj also made an important contribution with the ball, taking two wickets for 19 runs in the second innings, according to the corroborated scorecard figures.
Why the fixture says 11–14 October but finished on 13 October
The match began on 11 October and was scheduled to run through 14 October. Hyderabad wrapped up the win on the third day, 13 October, with Tripura dismissed for 120 in the second innings. The original four-day window can still appear on fixture listings after an early finish.
Tanmay Agarwal and debutant Ruthik Yadav had contributed half-centuries to Hyderabad’s innings, as reported by Sportstar. Those contributions helped the hosts build the first-innings lead that their bowlers then turned into an innings win.
Siraj’s first Ranji win as captain
The victory was also a captaincy milestone for Siraj. The Hindu described it as his maiden Ranji Trophy win as Hyderabad captain. He also backed up Thyagarajan’s second-innings spell with 2 for 19 from nine overs. The match was played at Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad’s next assignment is away against Andhra at Mulapadu, while Tripura will travel to Guwahati to face Assam, according to The Hindu. Hyderabad carries a seven-point return from its opener into that next game. Tripura’s immediate challenge will be to improve on two innings in which it failed to reach 150.
