Ex-India Standby Continues To Impress In Duleep Trophy, Suryakumar Yadav Disappoints

20.09.2024 - 14:33 sports.ndtv.com

The uber-talented Sanju Samson completed his 11th first-class hundred before Arshdeep Singh showed his wares with the semi-new ball as India D held sway over India B on the second day of their final Duleep Trophy round robin league match here on Friday.

India D scored 349 in 87.3 overs in their first innings while India B were not very comfortably placed at 210 for 6 when stumps were drawn despite skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran's (116) second hundred of the tournament.

The hundred happens to be Easwaran's 25th in first-class cricket. Suryakumar Yadav, the India T20 captain, who missed the first couple of rounds due to finger injury, didn't last long, managing only five before he was dismissed by the opposition team's best bowler Arshdeep (3/30 in 12 overs).

Samson, who smashed his way to an unbeaten 89 on the opening day, knocked off the required 11 runs as his 106 off 101 deliveries comprised 12 boundaries and three huge sixes.

An India so dominant that Bangladesh is admittedly clueless about how to match the "skills and mentality" of Suryakumar Yadav's men. The script is not expected to deviate much when the two sides clash in the second T20 International on Wednesday with the home team's young mavericks proving more than a handful for the full-strength visitors. Bangladesh have hardly looked like the plucky opponents that they are hyped to be but India have looked every bit the marauding force that loves to intimidate on home turf.
