Paranjpe disappointed

Oct 1: A hundred in an encounter that serves as a selection trial for picking up the Indian team should do any batsman proud. But not Jatin Paranjpe.

The 25-year-old Mumbai southpaw, who raked up his second hundred in as many matches notching 113 against Rest of India in the Irani Trophy at the Wankhede Stadium today, was, in fact, feeling guilty about letting his team down!

8220;With about 30-odd minutes left, I should have hung on there and seen the day through. We could have been in a much better position,8221; he said wistfully.

He was also candid in his admission that it was not the best knock of his first-class career. 8220;I don8217;t rate this knock very highly,8221; he remarked, adding, 8220;the hundred in the Ranji final last season was better.8221;
