Armaan Jaffer starred for Mizoram with a brilliant century on day two of their Plate Group Ranji Trophy clash against Sikkim at Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium, Anand. His commanding innings highlighted his exceptional skill and form, coming after his 144 against Arunachal, marking back-to-back centuries and reinforcing his place as a vital player for Mizoram.
Jaffer anchors Mizoram with stylish century
Batting at number three, Armaan Jaffer showcased his class and experience, playing fluently all around the park while frustrating the Sikkim bowlers with precise shot selection. By stumps, he remained unbeaten on 132, including 15 crisp boundaries and a six, leaving Mizoram in a strong position with 244 for 3 on the board and hinting at a potential mammoth score in the innings to follow.
Armaan Jaffer’s remarkable form comes after he moved to Mizoram seeking consistent opportunities, having previously been overlooked by Pondicherry and unable to cement a permanent spot in the Mumbai squad. Last representing Mumbai in the 2022-23 Ranji Trophy season, he is now demonstrating why he was once regarded as the next big thing in Mumbai cricket.
The nephew of former India opener Wasim Jaffer, Armaan is making a statement by leading from the front for his new team. Mizoram’s strong position on Day 2 reflects Jaffer’s dominance and the platform he has provided for the lower order to capitalize on.
His experience and composure have instilled confidence in the team, and if he continues his scoring spree, Mizoram could post another big total, aiming for back-to-back wins in the Plate Group after their innings victory in the previous match.
