New Delhi: After an action-packed beginning to the 2017/18 edition of the Ranji Trophy, the second round of fixtures starting on Saturday will continue to see the presence of an array of stars from the Indian Test team.

While Ravichandran Ashwin and Murali Vijay turn Tamil Nadu into overwhelming favourites for their Group C clash against an unheralded Tripura outfit at home, the Saurashtra duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Cheteshwar Pujara are expected to make things difficult for the visiting Jammu & Kashmir team in the Group B encounter at the SCA Stadium in Rajkot.
