Hyderabad, Nov 3 Abhinav Kumar struck a defiant
unbeaten 70 to guide Hyderabad to 237 for six on the opening
day of their Ranji Trophy Super League Group A match against
Himachal Pradesh here today.
Electing to bat at the Gymkhana Ground, Hyderabad were in
dire straits soon as they were down 31 for three with Ravi
Teja (0), Ambati Rayudu (1) and Anoop Pai (15) being dismissed
cheaply.
Opener Tirumalasetti Suman (40) and Arjun Yadav (19) then
shared 43 runs for the fourth wicket to revive the Hyderabad
innings before the former departed in 41st over.
Abhinav, who came in at the fall of Suman, then shared
two important partnerships -- 47 runs with Yadav for the fifth
wicket and 77 with Syed Quadri for the sixth wicket -- to take
the hosts to 237 for six from 90 overs. - (Agencies)
