The 2022 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy kick-started on October 11.
2. Nitish Rana vs Punjab (107 runs off 61 balls and 2 for 24)
Two power-packed domestic sides Delhi and Punjab collided on October 12 in Jaipur. After opting to bat, Delhi were in a spot of bother losing two quicks inside three overs with just 10 runs on the board. Skipper Nitish Rana arrived at the crease and it needed a captain’s knock to take his team out of trouble. And he did not disappoint.
What followed was just carnage. Rana played a breathtaking knock of 107 runs off mere 61 deliveries consisting of nine fours and seven sixes to script Delhi’s remarkable comeback. This amazing century allowed his team to post a daunting score of 191 for 4 at the end of 20 overs.
The 28-year-old also starred with the ball and picked two wickets in the three overs giving away 24 runs. One of the scalps included the dangerous Anmolpreet Singh (64 runs off 47 balls) who was taking the game away from Delhi. Eventually, Mandeep Singh & Co. could only post 179 runs at the end of 20 overs and lost the game by 12 runs.
