Delhi shot out for 235 against UP
3 Nov 2012 7:05 AM IST
Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir’s poor run of form continued as a formidable Delhi batting line-up could manage only 235 against Uttar Pradesh on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy group league match on Friday.
The likes of Sehwag, Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand were all back in the pavilion even before the lunch session, much to the disappointment of the capacity 15,000 crowd which expected some fireworks from the India stars in the Group B match.
Sehwag managed 25 while Gambhir and Kohli contributed 32 and 14 respectively. Unmukt, as usual, hit some lovely drives but did not go beyond an individual score of 28. On a hazy day at the Nehru Stadium, Uttar Pradesh’s right-arm medium pacer Imtiaz Ahmed bowled to a disciplined line as the much vaunted Delhi line-up could not make an impact. Imtiaz grabbed five for 59 while out of favour Praveen Kumar took three wickets for 56 runs.
