Yadav stars in Delhi Jets win over Chennai Veerans

Captain J.P. Yadav shone with the bat and ball to lead Delhi Jets to a 75-run victory over Chennai Veerans in the 50-over-a-side Indian Cricket League Domestic tournament in Chennai on Saturday.

Put in to bat, Delhi Jets were all out for 271 in 45.1 overs and then dismissed Chennai Veerans for 196 in 43.4 overs to walk away with full points.

In Delhi innings, opener S M Dholpure continued his consistent form, making 45 off 58 balls with the help of three fours and a six and then put on 105 runs for the second wicket with top scorer Abhinav Bali.

Bali's 78 (9 fours and six sixes) came in a whirlwind fashion as he made them of just 44 balls.

Yadav chipped with 35 runs (4 fours) and then became the chief wicket taker for the Delhi side, dismissing four Chennai Veerans batsmen for 24 runs off seven overs to be adjudged man of the match.

Syed Mohammed scalped four Delhi wickets for 40 runs while Badani claimed 2 for 39.

In reply, Chennai's Devendran (40) and Badani (46) were the main contributors. Delhi's Abhishek Sharma took 2 for 31.
