Ashok Menaria and Rajat Bhatia scored 84 and 59 respectively as Rajasthan reached 258 for five against Maharashtra.

The time-frame for seeking an inter-state transfer ends on September 1 and although some of the top Rajasthan players had offers from other states, they won't be able to seek a transfer as they can't get a no objection certificate (NOC) from their home state.
