Surya Yadav cracks ton as Mumbai put up huge score

Mumbai, Mar 7:
Middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav joined rookie opener Jay Bista in the list of centurions for Mumbai who rode on the duo’s tons to notch up an imposing first-innings score of 603 against Rest of India in the Irani Cup game here today.
Rest batted after tea to reply with 36 for 1 in 16 overs on day two of the five-day match at the Brabourne Stadium.
The batsman out was opener K S Bharat, caught at point while cutting an Abhishek Nayar delivery. At stumps Faiz Fazal (18) and night watchman Jayant Yadav (1) were at the crease.
Earlier Yadav, unbeaten on 88 in last evening’s Mumbai total of 386 for 3, went on to punish the toothless Rest bowling to make 156 in 271 balls, striking a six and 24 fours.
Yadav, who had scored a hundred in the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Madhya Pradesh at Cuttack, was finally dismissed by off spinner Jayant Yadav who accepted a return catch off an attempted drive. The same bowler then sent back Abhishek Nayar and Dhawal Kulkarni in successive overs.(PTI)
