New Delhi, Dec 7:
Skipper Gautam Gambhir led from the front with a gutsy unbeaten century while the others floundered as Delhi struggled to 260 for six at stumps on the first day of their opening Ranji Trophy fixture against Saurashtra, here today.
When the stumps were drawn, Gambhir was undefeated on 123 off 270 balls, having shared a 88-run stand for the fifth wicket with another veteran Rajat Bhatia (47).
While Virender Sehwag was run out for 9, Unmukt Chand’s (28) downfall came due to atrocious shot selection while Vaibhav Rawal (9) was cleaned up playing to a wrong line.
Varun Sood (14), who was surprisingly promoted to No. 3, was done in by a short ball onto his rib-cage. (PTI)
