Pacer Himanshu Chauhan claimed 5 for 51 that helped Delhi limit Madhya Pradesh to 171 on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy league match on the Holkar Stadium right here on Friday.
At stumps, Delhi was 86 for 2, needing one other 86 runs to take the primary innings lead.
Opting to bat, MP tumbled from 78 for 2 to 126 for eight after Chauhan and Divij Mehra (3/48) did a lot of the injury. For the host, solely Shubham Sharma (59) stood agency amid the ruins. Later, No. 10 Kumar Kartikeya Singh (33) was instrumental in MP reaching 171 after he added 29 runs with Aryan Pandey and former Delhi pacer Kulwant Khejroliya for the final two wickets.
