Ranji Trophy: Rahane Hits 159 For Mumbai, Delhi And J&K In Commanding Position
Cricket Association Pondicherry Siechem Ground: Veteran India batter Ajinkya Rahane struck a gritty 159 to guide Mumbai to 406/8 on a rain-hit day two of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match against Chhattisgarh at the BKC Ground on Sunday.
Rahane, who had retired hurt on 118 due to cramps on day one, resumed his innings and went on to face 303 deliveries. He hit 21 boundaries before being caught behind off veteran left-arm spinner Aditya Sarwate, who finished with figures of 4-103.
Mumbai resumed play at 251/5 with limited overs available due to frequent rain interruptions. After Rahane, wicketkeeper-batter Akash Anand remained solid for Mumbai by being unbeaten on 60 off 148 balls, while Tushar Deshpande was not out on four at stumps, taken early due to heavy rain. With more rain forecasted on Monday, it would be interesting to see how many overs’ play is done on day three.
