    Badoni dismissed for 99!

    It seems like it may not be a great day to be an Indian batter as Ayush Badoni became the third to get out in nervous 90s in Ranji trophy after Cheteshwar Pujara (99) and Ajinkya Rahane (96) as Karn Sharma gets his first wicket. Delhi are five down but closing in on Railways' score.

    Delhi cross 200

    Virat Kohli is in!

    It was unfortunate for Dhull as if there were reviews, he might have been saved but since Kohli was the next batsman in, there was a loud roar as the crowd welcomed the home boy to Ranji Trophy after 12 years.

    Was it sliding down leg? But the umpire has given out

    Yash Dhull was on his stance standing fully and the ball hit on his knee role. The ball seemed to be a bit high from Rahul Sharma but the umpire didn't think so and Yash Dhull has to go. The moment of the match has come, which this Delhi crowd was waiting for. VIRAT KOHLI is in.

    Dhull, Sanat make sure Delhi get through the first half an hour

    It is a foggy Winter morning in Delhi and the ball has moved a bit but Yash Dhull and Sanat Sangwan have made sure that Delhi get a good start on the second day. They have been solid in front of the wickets and haven't been afraid to play their shots when it has pitch in their areas.

    Delhi vs Railways Day 2 pitch report

    Rajat Bhatia and WV Raman reckoned that there is very little moisture on the wicket and hence, the batters will have a field day at the Kotla and should make the most of it after bowling out Railways for 241. If the Delhi batters get stuck in, it would be a good batting day.

    Can Delhi make use of a good batting wicket in Delhi?

    Obviously, Virat Kohli's batting will be highly anticipated but Delhi have an opportunity to take a first-innings lead and push Railways to the brink. If Kohli bats the way everyone is used to seeing him and Ayush Badoni and Yash Dhull and Co join him, it would be a fun day for Kohli and Delhi fans at the Kotla.

    An Upendra Yadav special in Delhi

    At 66/5, the Railways were tottering before the wicketkeeper batter Upendra Yadav dug in to carve out a brilliant knock on the Kotla pitch which got better and better through the day. Yadav shared a crucial 104-run partnership with Karn Sharma for the sixth wicket before adding 59 runs for the ninth wicket with Himanshu Sangwan.

    If anything, it looks and feels like the former! It was the case on the opening day of the Round 7 match in the Ranji Trophy and it was almost similar script on Day 2 as well, on which Virat Kohli is most likely to bat. Railways were shot out for 241 following a brilliant comeback innings from Upendra Yadav which denied the fans an opportunity to see Kohli batting but the match is set up nicely and Delhi have an opportunity to take a handsome first-innings lead.
