Vidyuth, Rishi impress with ball

On Wednesday, Vidyuth spun a web around the Swaraj batsmen to put IOB in the ascendancy. However, Swaraj came roaring back into the contest by dismissing five IOB batters for just 47 runs. At the SSN College Ground, medium pacer Rishi Dhawan (6 for 45) scalped six wickets to help MRC ‘A’ CC restrict Young Stars CC to a paltry 108 all-out. J Suresh Kumar (100 - UFCC (T Nagar) CC), Daryl S Ferrario (115 - Vijay CC), DT Chandrasekar (5 for 42 - Jolly Rovers CC) and Akshay V Srinivasan (104 not out - Globe Trotters SC) also impressed on the opening day.
