Bihar's emerging fast bowler Suman Kumar is making headlines with a stunning spell against Rajasthan in the ongoing U19 Cooch Behar Trophy. Suman delivered a historic spell of fast bowling which saw him bag all 10 of Rajasthan's wickets in the first innings of the match at Bihar's Moin ul Haq Stadium.
Suman bowled 33.5 overs during Rajasthan's first innings and finished with figures of 10/53 in 20 overs. He maintained a dot ball frequency of 1.11% and conceded runs at an economy rate of 1.57.
Parth Yadav, Manay Katariya, Toshit, Mohit Bhagtani, Anas, Sachin Sharma, Akash Mundel, Jatin, Aabhas Shrimali, Dhruv and Gulab Singh were the 10 victims of Suman as he dished out a memorable performance for the local cricket fans in Patna, Bihar.
Notably, Suman also claimed a hat-trick on his way to the 10-wicket haul. Suman cleaned up Mohit Bhagtani on the fourth delivery of the 36th over and pinned Anas plumb in front of his stumps on the next ball. His hat-trick ball saw him shatter the woodwork of Sachin Sharma who came to bat at number six for Rajasthan.
Suman's searing spell allowed Bihar to restrict Rajasthan for just 182 runs on the board. Bihar were pretty disciplined in their bowling as they conceded just 10 runs in terms of extras.
Suman also contributed to Bihar's first innings total with the bat in hand as he scored 22 off 56 balls, including four boundaries.
While Suman was the star with the ball for Bihar in the first innings, it was the pair of Dipesh Gupta and Prithvi Raj that helped them post a mammoth 467 on the board, batting first.
Dipesh played a magnificent knock of 183 off 381 balls and struck 28 fours during the course of his innings. He remained unbeaten right till the end.
On the other hand, Prithvi also scored a century. He played a 128-run knock off 136 deliveries and scored 19 boundaries and a maximum before getting out.
