Delhi Draws Opening Ranji Trophy Match

Delhi secured three points in their opening Group D match of the Ranji Trophy against Chhattisgarh, with Navdeep Saini's impressive bowling performance leading the charge. After Chhattisgarh posted 343 runs, Delhi responded with 357, highlighted by Jonty Sidhu's second career first-class century. On the final day, Chhattisgarh started at 33 without loss but ended at 179 for 6, prompting both captains to agree to a draw with insufficient time left for a decisive result. Saini's spell of 3 wickets for 36 runs was pivotal, as he dismissed key players and rattled the Chhattisgarh batting lineup. This match marks a positive beginning for Delhi under new coach Sarandeep Singh, especially after their struggles in the previous seasons. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu dominated Saurashtra in another match, winning by an innings and 70 runs.
