Ranji Trophy 2017-18, Round 2, results: Ashok Dinda bags 10-for; Irfan and Yusuf Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin disappoint

Irfan and Yusuf Pathan could not impress in their Round Two performances as Baroda drew their match with Andhra in Ranji Trophy 2017-18. Yusuf, who had scored centuries in the previous match, got out for a 1 and a duck in the two innings of the match, while his all-rounder brother Irfan Pathan could only claim one wicket. It was a disappointing match for Ravichandran Ashwin as well, as the leading Indian Test spinner bagged only 2 wickets as Tamil Nadu drew with Tripura. Ishant Sharma, too, was ordinary after bagging 3 wickets, ending with 4 wickets in total in the match with just a solitary wicket in the final innings of Delhi’s victory.

On a contrary, Bengal pace duo Mohammed Shami and Ashok Dinda dominated the match. Dinda finished with 10 wickets from the match against Chhattisgarh, with 7 wickets from a single innings. Shami bagged 8 wickets from the match, of which 6 came in the fourth innings.
