10 Dec 2013 5:49 AM IST
Sehwag, who had raced to 32 off 31 balls could only manage 44 off 81 balls as he was cleaned bowled by medium pacer Basant Mohanty (1/42). Delhi scored 231 for six before declaring and setting an impossible target of 285. Odisha in the 14 overs of formality managed 37 runs.
For Delhi Vaibhav Rawal (51) and wicketkeeper Rahul Yadav (50*) made half centuries. Sehwag was at his scratchy best he scord only 12 runs in the 50 balls that he faced today. Sehwag now has only 113 runs from eight innings with the highest being 44 in the second innings in the match that concluded on Monday. Delhi are now on 12 points from five games.
Bengal refuse to shake hands after tense tie
NEW DELHI: In one of the most ill-tempered domestic matches of recent times, Bengal and Railway players set a poor example of an on and off-field behaviour with the two umpires hardly being able to control the proceedings during the last two days of their Ranji Trophy encounter. If tension started with Railways captain Murali Kartik ‘Mankading’ Bengal’s Sandipan Das at the stroke of lunch on the third day, it ended on a very sour note with Bengal players refusing a customary handshake with Railwaymen at the end of the match as the home team decided to continue playing all the mandatory overs.
This was certainly done by Railways to humiliate Bengal by keeping them on the field after they have conceded the first innings lead and the match was over as contest.
