Upendra Yadav's 95 guides Railways to 241, Delhi trail on Day 1 of Ranji Trophy

New Delhi: On a day when fans flocked to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in large numbers to catch a glimpse of their hometown stalwart Virat Kohli on his return to domestic cricket, wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav bagged accolades by making a superb 95 on Day One of the Ranji Trophy match on Thursday.

With selector Ajay Ratra in attendance, Upendra was in command on a greenish-looking pitch by being solid in defence and showing judiciousness in his shot selection to make a fabulous 95 off 177 balls, laced with ten fours and a six. He stitched partnerships of 104 with Karn Sharma, who made a 106-ball fifty, and 59 with Himanshu Sangwan, who made a handy 29, to help Railways make 241 in 67.4 overs. For Delhi, pacer Navdeep Saini and spinner Sumit Mathur took three scalps each, while fast bowlers Siddhant Sharma and Money Grewal picked two wickets each. IANS
