The uncomplaining Bengal duo of Ranadeb Bose and Ashok Dinda, who complemented one another when wearing dual mantle of stock bowlers and shock bowlers, allowed itself a satisfied smile after holding back Delhi’s bid to gain the first innings lead, in the Ranji Trophy Group A Super League game, at the Kotla, on Thursday.
Bose and Dinda claimed four wickets each and ensured three points for Bengal from the 14-run lead over Delhi. They were excellent examples of the team’s competitive approach and intensity on a placid track of low bounce and slow place that challenged bowlers to maintain a high level of discipline.
