Duleep Trophy | Porel guides chase through absurd collapse to seal India C victory over India D
Loss of four wickets for just 26 runs left India C on the backfoot in a chase of 233 in Anantapur but Abhishek Porel stood firm with an unbeaten 35 to secure the four wicket victory over India D. Earlier, Manav Suthar's two wickets took his innings haul to seven in a player of the match performance.
Brief Score: IND C 168 & 233/6 [Juyal 47, Patidar 44; Saransh 4/92] defeat IND D 164 & 236 [Padikkal 56, Iyer 54; Suthar 7/49] by four wickets
Axar Patel and Harshit Rana added 30 runs to their overnight partnership of three take India D to 236 on Day 3 before two blows for no runs by Manav Suthar in consecutive overs folded the side out for 236, setting their opponents a target of 233.
Rutraj Gakwad and Sai Sudharsan began the chase fluently, racing away to 64 in their run-a-ball partnership. However, Saransh Jain used the rough patches caused by footmarks around the crease brilliantly to deceive both openers and dispatch the duo within four overs for 46 and 22 respectively. Nevertheless, it all seemed smooth sailing for the chasing side as Rajat Patidar and Aryan Juyal added 32 runs before Lunch to take the score to 109/2, just 124 away from victory.
The duo brought up their half-century stand shortly after resumption and were on the verge of completing their individual fifties when it all quickly unrivaled for the team. Rajat rushed down the stumps against Manva Suthar and was emphatically stumped, five balls before Juyal holed out off Arshdeep Singh. It was the beginninf of a 4/26 collapse -- Suthar and Axar got rid of Baba Indrajith (7) and Hrithik Shokeen (0) respectively to suddenly leave India C reeling at 198/6 heading into Tea.
Abhishek Porel showed maturity beyond his years upon resumption to patiently accumulate 35 runs in a 44-run partnership with Hrithik Shokeen and steer his team to a commanding victory in the tournament opener.
Big Win!
