NEW DELHI: Upendra Yadav played a defiant knock of 95 to steer Railways to 241 on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy clash against Delhi, a game marked by Virat Kohli’s much-anticipated return to domestic red-ball cricket after 13 years.
Delhi's pace trio — Navdeep Saini, Siddhant Sharma, and Money Grewal — made early inroads, reducing Railways to 66 for five in the first session by exploiting the morning conditions. However, Upendra, along with veteran spinner Karn Sharma (50 off 105), stitched a crucial 104-run stand for the sixth wicket, stabilising the innings.
