Haryana batsmen dominate on Day One

Winning the toss on Day One of their North Zone Ranji match against Jammu and Kashmir at the Maharaja Agarsingh Stadium, Rohtak, Haryana made the most of their advantage, ending the day at a handsome score of 286/3.

Although opener Padamjeet Sehrawat was dismissed for no score, Chetan Sharma (41) and Ishan Ganda put on 92 runs for the second wicket before Sharma was out leg-before off the bowling of Surendra Singh.

Haryana skipper Parender Singh was the next to fall with just 23 more runs added to the team score. Thereafter, however, the Jammu and Kashmir bowlers toiled in vain as Ganda and Shafiq Khan shepherded their side to the close of play.

Ganda made a patient 106 off 261 balls and, by the end of the day, Shafiq had outscored his partner, scoring 114 off 171 balls. Both centurions were unbeaten at the end of the day.
