Middle-order blues continued to haunt Chandigarh in the Ranji Trophy opener as the UT side suffered a humiliating 217-run loss to domestic giants Hyderabad in their Elite Group B contest at Cuttack on Sunday.
Chasing a mammoth 401, Chandigarh started the day at 21/2 and kept losing wickets at regular intervals to eventually fold up for a meagre 183. Pacer Ravi Teja, who picked both the wickets on Saturday evening, continued from where he left to end up with magical figures of 6 for 41. He was assisted well by fellow medium pacer Raksham Readdi (3/62) and Tanay Thyagarajan (1/70), as Hyderabad grabbed six points from the fixture.
