Akshat dazzles, Yuvraj falters
Akshat dazzles, Yuvraj falters. On a day when Hyderabad opener P Akshat Reddy blasted his way to an authoritative unbeaten 173 runs, Test discard Yuvraj Singh had a disastrous outing in the middle on the second day of the All India Coromandel King Moin-ud-Dowla Gold Cup Invitation cricket tournament here on Friday.
Hyderabad: On a day when Hyderabad opener P Akshat Reddy blasted his way to an authoritative unbeaten 173 runs, Test discard Yuvraj Singh had a disastrous outing in the middle on the second day of the All India Coromandel King Moin-ud-Dowla Gold Cup Invitation cricket tournament here on Friday.
Akshat Reddy’s innings took Hyderabad to 349 for two against FCI at Vijayanand Gardens on Friday. His knock came from 204 balls and was laced with 28 fours and a six. He added 85 runs for the first wicket with T Suman (44) and followed up with a monumental 207 runs for the second wicket with his skipper GH Vihari.
Vihari made 87 runs off 132 balls with nine fours and a six. In reply FCI were three runs without any loss of wicket. Meanwhile in the only other match was played on yet another rain-affected day, MRF looked in complete control despite the presence of Yuvraj Singh in the Air India line-up.
After making 352 runs in their first innings, MRF had Air India in dire straits staring as they were at a rather pathetic 38 runs for the loss of four wickets. The comeback bid by the burly all-rounder ended even before he could settle down as 21 was all that he could manage.
Brief scores: Day-2: Hyderabad XI 349 for 2(P Akshath Reddy 173no, GH Vihari 87) vs FCI 3 for no loss; MRF 352 (Sheldon Jackson 119, S Vasudeva Das 143no, John Abraham 3/84, Badri Alam 4/52, Kurban Ali 2/71) vs Air India 38 for 4 (Sunil Sam 2/18, Nathu Singh 2/19)
