Duleep Trophy: India C Nose Ahead Of India D Despite Axar’s All-round Efforts
Rural Development Trust: After bowlers called the shots which resulted in 14 wickets falling in a single day, India C managed to nose just ahead of India D at the end of Day One of the Duleep Trophy first-round game at the Rural Development Trust ground here on Thursday. Pushed into batting first, India D found themselves in trouble at 76/8, till Axar Patel stepped up to hit a counter-attacking 86 as the team made 164 in their first innings, with the next highest score being just 13.
In reply, Axar and Harshit Rana took two wickets each to leave India C at 91/4, and trail by 73 runs.
Bowling first on a spicy pitch and overhead skies, India C got early cheers as Anshul Kamboj dismissed Atharva Taide in the very first over of the match. Vijaykumar Vyshak struck twice in the sixth over by dismissing Shreyas Iyer and Devdutt Padikkal in quick succession. From there, Yash Dubey, Ricky Bhui, K.S. Bharat, Saransh Jain and Rana fell without doing much as India D were in real danger of being bowled out for a low total.
