シッダース・デサイとは誰ですか？グジャラートのスピナーがランジ・トロフィーの初日に9ウィケットを獲得

Gujarat spinner Siddharth Desai has made a name for himself in the Ranji Trophy, as the talented bowler took nine wickets on the opening day of the match. He achieved this remarkable milestone against Uttarakhand on January 23.

After dismissing opener Priyanshu Khanduri in the fifth over, Siddharth trapped Uttarakhand captain Ravikumar Samarth for a first-ball duck. He removed Yuvraj Choudhary off the final ball of the over, leaving Uttarakhand at 15/3, although he did not claim a hat-trick. It was a serious setback to see Samarth (514 runs) and Chaudhary (497 runs), Uttarakhand’s highest run scorers this season, return to the field.
