Kerala crushes Chandigarh in its opener
The Hindu
After reducing the latter to 184 for eight, Samson’s men win at a canter
Kerala’s campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy got off to a smooth start at Rajkot on Wednesday as Sanju Samson’s men romped home with six wickets and 16 overs to spare against Chandigarh at the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground.
Put in to bat, Chandigarh could manage only 184 for eight. It was hardly sufficient on what the Kerala coach Tinu Yohannan termed an “excellent track” for batting.
Chandigarh could not quite recover from the early loss of two wickets. Opener Sarul Kanwar was removed by Basil Thampi for a duck, while one-drop Shivam Bhambri (14) was sent back by Manu Krishnan, who has impressed this season on his comeback after a long gap.
