Ranji Trophy: Ayush Badoni double ton gives Delhi vital points

NEW DELHI: On Friday evening, Delhi captain Ayush Badoni was reluctant to speak to the media even as he walked back unbeaten on 116 at stumps, with five wickets down for 238, in pursuit of Jharkhand's first innings total of 382. "I'll finish the job tomorrow morning and try to score a double hundred. Only then I'll be satisfied," he had told TOI then.

Halfway into the second session on Saturday, he chipped left-arm spinner Manishi for an effortless six down the ground to bring up his double hundred and overhaul Jharkhand's total with three wickets to spare. As he shook hands with the Jharkhand players, Badoni's unbeaten 205 off 216 meant he had single-handedly taken Delhi from a precarious 98/4 to secure three points in the weather affected match.
