Duleep Trophy: Sarkar, Mukesh, And Shami Bowl Out Central Zone For 266 Despite Rinku’s Fifty
Barring Rinku Singh: A relentless bowling display led by Tripura medium-pacer Abhijit Sarkar alongside the Bengal seam bowling duo of Mukesh Kumar and Mohammed Shami helped East Zone bundle out Central Zone for 266 on day one of the Duleep Trophy semi-final at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2 on Sunday.
Electing to bowl on a green-tinged surface offering generous pace and bounce, East Zone's pace attack exploited the favourable conditions from the outset to keep Central Zone under pressure throughout the day. Barring Rinku Singh’s 60 off 88 balls and Aryan Juyal’s 46 off 113 balls, no other Central Zone made a notable contribution.
Sarkar was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-38, and provided early breakthroughs by removing openers Aman Mokhade and Kunal Chandela in quick succession. Mukesh maintained the pressure from the other end and ended up with 3-56, including the crucial scalp of Central Zone captain Rajat Patidar for 12, while Shami took 2-42, which also included an excellent set-up to get the better of Yash Rathod.
