Ranji Trophy: Plan Was To Stitch A Long Partnership To Take The Lead, Says Mathur
Ranji Trophy: At 97/4 in 29.1 overs, Delhi were in trouble on day two of their Ranji Trophy game against Railways and were in danger of being shot out for a low total. But Delhi captain Ayush Badoni and all-rounder Sumit Mathur didn’t let that happen by stitching a 133-run stand to help the hosts’ take a 93-run lead at the end of day two’s play.
“At that time we had to make the plan quickly as Virat was a senior player and he got out early. After that Sanat Sangwan also got out. We had the plan that we have to build a partnership, as around 100, we lost four wickets. So, plan of me and Ayush was that we have to make a long partnership so that we can take the lead, and for that runs were made very quickly,” said Mathur to reporters at the end of day two’s play.
He cited the importance of playing on the merit of the ball in an important stand where Badoni was more aggressive of the two. “We were playing according to the merit of the ball we were getting. If we were getting a ball to hit, then we were hitting it.”
