New Delhi: Shikhar Dhawan (224) cracked his maiden first-class double-century as Delhi piled on a huge 591 all out against a weakened Baroda attack on the second day of their Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match.
Already missing captain Irfan Pathan, Baroda had to play without the services of Salim Veragi, their opening bowler who was called twice for a suspect action.
To add to the woes of Baroda, all the Delhi top-order batsmen except captain Aakash Chopra (21) scored half centuries. Gaurav Chabbra (65), Rajat Bhatia (78), Mayank Tehlan (55) and Yogesh Nagar (55) made merry of the ineffective Baroda bowling to take the score to 591 all out from 168.4 overs.
For Baroda, Yusuf Pathan and Rakesh Solanki took three wickets apiece conceding 148 and 73 runs respectively.
In reply, Baroda openers Connor Williams (9) and Satyajit Parab (10) saw out the nine overs before stumps at 21 without loss.
In another Group B game, riding on Abhishek Jhunjhunwala's 95 and Manoj Tiwary's 88, Bengal piled up 325 runs in their first innings in reply to Maharsahtra's 179.
Maharshtra, in their second essay, were 46 for no loss with Harshad Khadiwale batting on 24 and Rohan Bhosale on 15, thereby trailing Bengal by 100 runs.
On a day dominated by the bowlers, Abhmanyu Mithun's five-wicket haul put Karnataka on the driver's seat against Uttar Pradesh at the end of the second day of the Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match on Wednesday.
Mithun (5/63) ran through the UP line-up to reduce the hosts to 214 for eight at stumps on day two after Karnataka had added 33 runs to their overnight score to be all out for 405.
