DEHRADUN: Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran scored a century against Uttarakhand on the first day of the Ranji Trophy match being played at the stadium named after him: the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Stadium, which was built by the batsman's father.
It was a bittersweet day for Abhimanyu as he ended the day batting on 141, just 24 hours after losing a close family friend, Prabhjot Singh. Abhimanyu dedicated the ton to Singh, whom he called 'mamu'.
