Ranji Trophy: Dhawan's unbeaten 95 gives HP first innings lead

On the second day of their sixth-round Group D Ranji Trophy match against Delhi, Himachal Pradesh reached a total of 311 for eight at stumps, propelled by veteran all-rounder Rishi Dhawan's unbeaten 95 and a patient 85 by opener Ravi Thakur. Having scored 264 on the opening day, Delhi now faces a 47-run deficit with two wickets still in hand. The hosts aim to extend their lead, putting pressure on a fragile Delhi batting line-up that has surpassed 275 only once this season.
