Delhi’s limited bowling resources stood exposed once again as Baroda moved to a position of strength at 202 for one on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy league match here.
Opener Jyotsnil Singh smashed an unbeaten 124 and added 199 runs for the ongoing second-wicket stand with Shashwat Rawat (batting 71) to offset the cheap dismissal of Kinit Patel. On Saturday, Delhi could find it tough to contain the Baroda batters.
Asked to bat after a delayed start due to poor visibility and wet outfield, Baroda kept Delhi at bay on Friday. Ishant Sharma, who plays only home games these days, bowled Patel in the third over. Thereafter, it was the Baroda duo all the way.
