GROUP D
Hyderabad, Oct 16: Young opener Sanat Sangwan (211 no) and debutant Ayush Doseja (209) hit contrasting double hundreds as Delhi made full use of a batting paradise, piling on 529 for four before declaring against Tilak Varma-led Hyderabad on the second day of their Ranji Trophy Group D contest here.
Hyderabad also started their reply on a strong note, reaching 77 for one in 17 overs, with veteran Tanmay Agarwal batting on 27 after fellow opener Rahul Singh was trapped leg-before for a 35 by rival skipper Ayush Badoni.The day belonged to the two southpaws — Sangwan and Doseja — who added a massive 319 runs for the fourth wicket, having come together at a relatively uncomfortable 113 for three.While Sangwan was old school, leaving and blocking a lot of deliveries in his 470-ball knock, Doseja was free flowing as he took only 279 balls for his innings.
Mumbai in sight of first innings lead
Playing in his 23rd first-class season, the soon-to-be-41 Paras Dogra played a captain’s knock as he hit a classy unbeaten century for Jammu and Kashmir, but title contenders Mumbai are firmly in sight of a first innings lead in another group D match in Srinagar.
After Mumbai ended their first innings on 386 with seamer Yudhvir Singh, who took a five-for (5/96) denying Shams Mulani (91) a chance to score a hundred, Jammu and Kashmir reached 273 for seven at stumps on day two.
