Duleep Trophy: Shaw and Jaiswal’s half-centuries keep West Zone in control against North East Zone
The HinduPrithvi Shaw and Yashasvi Jaiswal regaled for West Zone, who finished at a strong 116 for no loss, during the brief time in which play was possible on the opening day of the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal match against North East Zone here at the M.A. On a gloomy day in the city, overnight rains and poor light followed by brief showers just before the scheduled start of play ensured a delayed start to the day’s proceedings. Jaiswal got off in style pulling pacer Bishworjit Singh for a six over the fine-leg fielder before Shaw punched one through backward point to pocket 12 off the first over. Jaiswal, who had a dream Ranji Trophy last season making 498 runs from three matches with three centuries, continued from where he left off last season finding boundaries with ease.
