Hyderabad 'A' Division League Day One Features Multiple Centuries
On Thursday, cricket teams in Hyderabad played the first day of their league's fifth round.
In cricket, a "century" means a player scored 100 or more runs, which is a big deal.
Many players did this, so the day was full of great batting.
Tanmay Agarwal scored the most runs for his team, making 153.
His team, Deccan Chronicle, got 508 runs, which is a very big score.
In another group of teams, seven players scored centuries in one day.
A player named S.M. Tanuj made 173 runs without getting out, the best score of the whole round.
Some bowlers also did well, taking five wickets each.
Two teams finished their matches by winning on the first day.
The batting-friendly conditions meant lots of teams got off to strong starts.
The matches will continue the next day.
Tanmay Agarwal (153), M. Pratyush Kumar (125) and Wafi Kachchhi (105) hit centuries on day one of round five.
Deccan Chronicle posted the round's highest total, 508, in the 'A' Division.
The 'B' Division saw seven centuries, led by S.M. Tanuj's unbeaten 173.
Hyderabad Bottling and Crown secured the only outright wins of the day.
Bowlers Nischal Reddy (5/78) and Aditya N.K. (5/50) took five-wicket hauls.
