Ranji round-up: Dhawan slams double ton



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.

Manish Pandey (194) too could not add to his overnight score and missed his maiden double century by six runs.

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (4/109) and Shalabh Srivastava (4/76) were in great form, dismissing the last five Karnataka batsmen for just 33 runs.

For UP, opener Tanmay Srivastava (30), Ravikant Shukla (27) and Parvinder Singh (32) did show some sparks in the top-order but failed to capitalise on their starts.

Earlier, Karnataka lost wickets in a hurry as UP bowlers' ruled the roost to eventually bundle out the visitors 405 in 103. overs.

In Delhi, Murali Vijay's unbeaten half-century consolidated Tamil Nadu's position as the side reached 150 for two after bundling out Railways for 327 on the second day of their Ranji Trophy Super League Group-A match.

Vijay was on 65 in company S Badrinath (33) at stumps.

Resuming at 242 for four, Railways earlier could add just 85 runs for the loss of six wickets today. Sanjay Bangar, who was on 111 on Tuesday, did not get support from the lower order. He carried his bat through the innings for 163.

In reply, Tamil Nadu started on a disastrous note with Mukund running himself out in the first over for a duck before Vijay and Arun Karthik (47) steadied the innings with a 83-run stand.

In another group A game, Sahil Kukreja's 90 and Abhishek Nayar's fluent 53 helped Mumbai reach 244 for the loss of seven wickets against Punjab on the second day.

Earlier, starting at the overnight score of 242 for nine, Punjab's last wicket could add just 17 runs as they were bowled out for 259.

Mumbai too got off to a disastrous start to their innings, losing the first three wickets cheaply with the scoreboard reading 65.

However, Kukreja and Nayar stitched together a valuable 115 runs for the fourth wicket to stabilise the Mumbai innings.

Ablish was the chief destroyer of Mumbai innings, claiming four wickets, while Gony took two wickets and Harmeet Singh scalped one victim.

In Ahmedabad, hosts Gujarat bowled out Orissa for a paltry 192 runs to earn a vital first innings lead of 78.

The visitors were bundled out in just 70.5 overs. Niranjan Behera top-scored with 78 runs of 195 deliveries, while B S Pati and Rakesh Mohanty contributed 24 and 34 runs respectively.

Earlier, the hosts resuming the day at 237 for seven and could only muster 33 more runs before their innings folded for 270.

In a Group A game, unbeaten half-centuries from Paras Dogra and Ajay Mannu helped Himachal Pradesh reach 166 for three against Hyderabad.

Dogra was unbeaten on 54 while giving him company at the crease was Mannu on 52 as the duo played cautiously after the fall of three wickets to amass the runs in 59 overs.

For Hyderabad, Alfred Absolem picked up two wickets for 48 runs while out-of-favour India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha scalped one victim giving away 38 runs.

Earlier, starting at the overnight score of 237 for six, the last four Hyderabad batsmen added 91 runs in 28.3 overs to take their score beyond 300.

However, the day started on a bad note for Hyderabad as Abhinav Kumar could only add three runs to his overnight score of 70.

But Hyderabad's cause was helped by Munagala Praneet Arjun's gutsy 71 and some indicipline bowling from Himachal bowlers, who gave away 39 run extras.

Vikramjeet Malik shone with the ball for Himachal with figures of four for 67. He was ably supported by Ashok Thakur at the other end, picking up two wickets for 71 runs.

Kerala boat tragedy: Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water

THEKKADY / KOCHI: A thick veil of grief descended on the famed tourist spot of Thekkady on Wednesday when Kerala witnessed its worst ever boat tragedy in the Mullaperiyar waters as the KTDC’s Jalakanyaka, carrying about 76 passengers, sank. Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water. Any hope of finding more tourists alive faded with the daylight even as rescue personnel continued their desperate search. The two-deck boat, commissioned just a month back, was returning to the boat landing after an hour-long sight-seeing trip when tragedy struck. All the passengers on the upper deck apparently rushed to one side of the boat to take photos of a lone bison spotted on the shore. At the same time many from the lower deck flocked to the top leaving the lower almost empty. This movement and the uneven distribution of weight caused the boat to overbalance and turn turtle. Those remaining on the lower deck were trapped inside while about 20 on the upper deck were rescued by other boa

Special Status For Jammu & Kashmir Scraped: 5 Points About Article 370

Jammu & Kashmir will also be "reorganized," Home Minister Amit Shah said as talks about the state being trifurcated into three separate fields- Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh NEW DELHI: Article 370, which gives Jammu & Kashmir unique status, will be withdrawn this morning in parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah said . The announcement came after his cabinet meeting at his house this morning was held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi . Article 370 is a ' temporary provision ' granting special autonomous status to Jammu & Kashmir .

The government therefore requires state government approval for all legislation, except those related to defence, foreign affairs, finance, and communications. Parliament can not also improve or decrease the boundaries of the State under Article 370 As a consequence, citizens of Jammu & Kashmir

Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta Movie Review: Tiring and Unsatisfying

Movie Rating: 3/5 First of all things! The director's weakest film is the long delayed Enai Noki Paayum Thotta by Gautham Menon . The film's main weakness is the director's fascination with narrative style voice-over. It was good before Gautham used voice-over as a medium to tell his stories, but every scene in Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta begins and ends with Dhanush's voice-over, which irritates us after a point. The film is filled with tired stereotypes, and at a runtime of 157 minutes it is an unsatisfying watch. Like any other movie from Gautham Menon, here too hero Raghu (Dhanush) is a student of engineering, but this time his wife is not a student, but a film heroine Lekha ( Mega Akash ).She tells him she is not interested in movies and her boss Kuberan (Senthil Veeraswamy) coerced her into the profession for money (it looks like the girl is an orphan and Kuberan supported her studies and is her guardian). Raghu takes her to his Pollachi house and introduc
