Ranji Trophy: Ankush Bains, Pukhraj Mann hold fort to force Delhi to settle for draw | Cricket News

Delhi’s 329-run overnight lead coming into the final day of their Ranji Trophy fixture looked commanding, but on a track that offered little assistance even on the fourth day, and with a bowling line-up that lacked the incisiveness to find a breakthrough, they were forced to drop three points. The home side unexpectedly opened the day by continuing their batting but declared after piling on just 13 more runs at the Feroz Shah Kotla grounds here on Tuesday. They sent Himachal in to bat and an excellent opening spell by Money Grewal threatened to breathe life into the fixture. But as the ball got old and the track fell asleep, a rearguard partnership between Himachal skipper Ankush Bains and Pukhraj Mann held for the rest of the day’s play. Delhi’s typical post-Diwali haze had cast a shadow on the game. Play was called off an hour early on Day 3 due to bad light, and on the stroke of tea on Tuesday for the same reason, and the two captains decided to shake hands and …

Five players were tied in fourth place at scores of five-under 65 at the Par-70 course which is playing host to a PGTI event after 15 years. The chasing pack at 65 included Chandigarh’s Yuvraj Sandhu, who made birdies on his last four holes, as well as Karandeep Kochhar, another Chandigarh golfer, along with Bangladesh’s Badal Hossain, Delhi’s Kapil Kumar and Kolkata’s Shankar Das. Twenty-eight-year-old Pukhraj Singh Gill, who was also the first-round leader at last week’s PGTI event in Ahmedabad, didn’t have the best of starts on Tuesday after he made an early bogey on the 12th. However, Gill came back strong with birdies on the 15th and 16th to make the turn at one-under.

The five players bunched in tied third place at four-under 68 were Mysuru’s Yashas Chandra, Delhi golfers Sachin Baisoya and Anshul Kabthiyal, Hyderabad’s Vishesh Sharma and Chandigarh’s Amrit Lal. Among the Ahmedabad-based professionals, Varun Parikh was the highest-placed at tied 48th after he shot a 74. Pukhraj Singh Gill produced a bogey-free effort during his round of 66 on day one. The 28-year-old Pukhraj, who made most fairways and greens thanks to his excellent ball-striking, sank three birdies each on the front-nine and back-nine. Gill left himself two tap-ins and also chipped-in for birdie on the 15th. He holed a 15-footer for birdie too. Pukhraj said, “This course suits me as it rewards good ball-striking, especially off the tees. I played both the nines well. The wind was up early on in my round so the pars at the beginning were quite stabilizing for me and gave me a decent start. A bogey-free start is always welcome. “I’ve had a consistent run so far this season and I enjoy a good comfort level at this …
