Cheteshwar Pujara (83) and Wridhiman Saha (123) were at the crease when the stumps were drawn for the day.<\/p>\n
Chasing a mammoth 379, Rest of India were 63-4 when Saha walked into a crisis and slammed his 11th first-class hundred.<\/p>\n
Saha, along with skipper Pujara forged an unbeaten 203-run stand for the fifth wicket to bring Rest of India back into the match.<\/p>\n
In his 214-ball knock, Saha, who was struggling from cramps slammed 16 boundaries and three sixes.<\/p>\n

After seven overs, another opener Mukund (19) was also sent packing by Hardik Patel. He was caught by Dhruv Raval.<\/p>\n
Middle-order batsmen Karun Nair (7) and Manoj Tiwary (7) also failed to step up to the occasion as both were dismissed cheaply by Hardik Patel and Mohit Thadani.<\/p>\n
Incoming batsman Saha, who marked his return from injury with a gritty hundred then stabilised the innings with the skipper to put his team back into the match.<\/p>\n
For Gujarat, Hardik Patel scalped two wickets while Thadani and Patel chipped in with one wicket each.<\/p>\n
