Duleep Trophy: Ankit And Dhull Centuries Extend North Zone's Dominance Over East Zone
BCCI COE Ground: Centuries by skipper Ankit Kumar and Yash Dhull powered North Zone to a commanding position against East Zone, as they reached 388/2 in 90 overs at stumps on Day Three of their Duleep Trophy clash at the BCCI COE Ground 1 here on Saturday.
Ankit remained unbeaten on 168 off 264 balls, laced with 16 fours and a six, and shared a solid 240-run partnership with Dhull, who hit 133 off 157 deliveries, including hitting 14 fours and three sixes, as North Zone extended their dominance with a lead standing at a staggering 563 runs.
On a cloudy day, East Zone had no respite as their bowling line-up came under the pump due to Ankit, Dhull, and Badoni. What also hurt them was that they didn’t have the services of pacer Mukesh Kumar due to a possible hamstring strain.
