List of Highest Partnerships in Ranji Trophy: Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle Set New Record of 606 Runs

Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle were unbeaten during the partnership before the team finally declared.

Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle were in a record-breaking partnership for the third wicket during the Ranji Trophy Plate fixture between Goa and Arunachal Pradesh at the Goa Cricket Association Academy Ground, Porvorim. The duo stitched a massive 606-run stand in 448 deliveries, the highest-ever in a Ranji Trophy innings.

That was also the third-wicket partnership between the duo, who kept this record for around eight years.
