Here is what DN Raghavendra Rao says on the first ever Ranji Match

Dear Gopal,
So, for Karnataka, it’s just three three hundreds, all in the last three years! Thank you for the info. I enjoyed Sri C K M’s story of the inaugural Ranji match between Mysore and Madras, as interesting as it is comprehensive. My congratulations to him. Here are my comments, which I request you to kindly convey to him.

Am I right in saying it is probably cricket’s ONLY First Class match which was completed in just a single day? In fact, it is eminently qualified to be called the ONLY First Class ODI ! ( if you ignore those 5 extra balls, treating them as “kosaru”!! ) That’s in lighter vein, of course. But the next day, at the railway station, the story of Players overtaking the Paper takes the cake!

Best wishes.
DNR
