KASARGOD: This is a moment the residents of Thalangara in Kasaragod district have been dreaming of: their beloved son Mohammed Azharuddeen playing a stellar role in helping Kerala reach the Ranji Trophy final for the first time.
At the massive Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad against Gujarat, the 30-year-old Azharuddeen’s unbeaten century proved the backbone of Kerala’s healthy total that eventually saw the team gain a first innings lead in the semifinal.
On Friday, Azhar’s family and friends were in a celebratory mood as Kerala progressed to the final of the premier domestic cricket tournament.
