Sehwag hits 56, Delhi batters do good
17 Dec 2013 5:27 AM IST
Veteran Manhas (100) struck his 25th first-class century, while Sehwag hit some of his vintage shots during his 72-ball-56 as Delhi scored 448 for nine at stumps taking an overall lead of 360 runs at the end of the second day.
This was Sehwag’s first first-class half-century of the season. The pitch had bounce and lateral movement but it was the difference in class of the Delhi batsmen that was evident during the day.
Even glovesman Rahul Yadav (81, 8x4, 4x6) and Ashish Nehra (57, 5x4, 4x6) made merry with 122-run partnership for the eighth wicket as Vidarbha bowlers had a resigned look at the end of the day. The duo hit as many as eight sixes between them -- all were clean hits with Nehra scoring his first 50.
Delhi games likely at Kotla, Daljeet comes for Roshanara recee
NEW DELHI: The Sports Committee of the DDCA are all set to shift Delhi’s final two Ranji Trophy encounters against Punjab and Karnataka respectively at the Feroze Shah Kotla stadium even as BCCI chief curator Daljeet Singh came for a recee of Roshanara ground today.
Although Daljeet refrained from making any comments as per strict BCCI guidelines. ‘There is a meeting in two days’ time and we would ask the selection committee as to why they have preferred playing at Roshanara when we have an international ground? In all likelihood, the last two home matches will be held at the Kotla,’ Sports Committee member Anil Passi said.
‘The decision of the venue is not selection committee or players’ prerogative. It is decided by the Sports Committee,’ Passi said. Kotla will most probably get the nod ahead.
