5 best performers from the 2017 Irani Trophy

3.Chirag Gandhi

One of the brightest spots for Gujarat in the game, Chirag Gandhi was responsible for getting to the score of 358 from a position of 237 for 7, making a superb 169 in the first innings, filled with 22 fours and 2 sixes.

He backed that effort with a fine 70 in the second innings, which also came when the team found itself in a pickle and it helped the side post 246 runs on the board, thereby gaining what looked at that stage as a defendable lead.

Along with Panchal, Gandhi was one of the bright spots for Gujarat in the Irani Trophy encounter and he will look to start well when the new Ranji Trophy season starts later this year.
