Yajas sharma: Cricket News & Match Updates

India U19 World Cup: Yash Dhull smashed a scintillating century to guide Central Delhi Kings to a 15-run victory against North Delhi Strikers in a rain-curtailed match in Season 2 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL), which was reduced to 16 overs per side at the Arjun Jaitley Stadium here on Saturday.

After Dhull’s century helped the Kings to set a mammoth 198-run target, the Strikers got off to a brilliant start as opening batters Sarthak Ranjan (52 off 26) and Arnav Bugga (43 off 13) stitched an 85-run partnership inside five overs before Bugga departed after smashing 5 fours and 3 sixes.
