Jharkhand made a giant stride towards advancing to the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals as they posted a mammoth 769-9 against a struggling Nagaland on Day Two of their knockout match at Eden Gardens on Sunday.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Kushagra made the most of the listless Nagaland attack to steer his side to a huge total after Jharkhand resumed the day at 402-5. Kushagra slammed 266 from 269 balls.
