If Day 1 of the Delhi-Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy clash in Guwahati belonged to Yash Dhull, the second day was owned by Lalit Yadav (177, 17x4, 10x6). The Delhi No. 7 batsman, who scored his maiden First-Class hundred, helped Delhi finish on 452 in the first innings on Friday. Tamil Nadu, in reply, were 75 for 2 at stumps.
Lalit, who began the day at his overnight score of 45, raised his half-century with a maximum over mid-wicket region off medium-pacer M Mohammed. Despite losing Simarjeet Singh (19, 3x4) early in the day, Lalit showed no signs of his tempo dipping. Each time the Tamil Nadu bowlers erred in their lines, Lalit was more than happy to cash in.
