NEW DELHI: Siddharth Desai achieved a remarkable milestone in first-class cricket on Thursday, claiming nine wickets in an innings against Uttarakhand during a Ranji Trophy match at Gujarat College Cricket Ground A in Ahmedabad. His outstanding performance is now the best bowling display in the history of Gujarat cricket in this format.
The left-arm orthodox spinner's incredible figures of 9-36 eclipsed the previous record of 8-31, set by Rakesh Vinubhai Dhurv against Saurashtra in 2012.
