Priyansh Arya falls for 199 on Ranji Trophy debut hundred
Arya missed a double century by one run after a 220-ball 199 that lifted Delhi to 381 for four on day one against Gujarat.
Delhi opener Priyansh Arya fell for 199 on the opening day of Delhi's Ranji Trophy match against Gujarat at the Air Force Ground B in Palam. He reached his maiden first-class century in 125 balls and finished with 30 boundaries in a 220-ball innings.
Arya charged the Gujarat seamers repeatedly on a slow pitch and added an unbroken 234-run stand with captain Ayush Badoni, who remained unbeaten on 115. Delhi reached 381 for four at stumps.
The 24-year-old had played only five 50-over matches for India A since the IPL season. Delhi trail by nine wickets after losing their season opener to Bengal.
CricHubb Take
Arya's near-double shows he has already made the red-ball adjustment that selectors demanded, yet he may still wait for an India A tour before a senior call-up.
