Ranji Trophy: Navdeep Saini's Fiery Spell In Vain As Ajay Mandal Saves Chhattisgarh From Defeat
Resuming on 33 without loss, Chhattisgarh found themselves under early pressure as Saini struck swiftly. Ayush Pandey, who had previously taken Saini apart with 22 runs off a single over in the first innings, tried to reignite the duel by flicking him to deep mid-wicket. But Saini hit back immediately, trapping Pandey with a yorker before bowling him out with a sharp delivery that forced an inside edge onto the stumps.
Pandey's dismissal brought Ashutosh Singh to the crease alongside opener Eknath Kerkar, but Saini was relentless. He claimed a simple caught-and-bowled chance off Kerkar, and six balls later, top-scorer Sanjeet Desai from the first innings nicked one to wicketkeeper Anuj Rawat off Himanshu Chouhan. With Chhattisgarh reeling, Delhi smelled blood.
