Sehwag fails yet again as Delhi struggle at 194/8

Haryana bowlers produced a disciplined performance to restrict hosts Delhi to 194 for eight at stumps, on the first day of their group A Ranji Trophy encounter as India discards Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir yet again failed to post a big score.
Put into bat on a seamer-friendly Roshanara track, Sehwag (3), Gambhir (29), Unmukt Chand (1) and Mithun Manhas (9) were all back in the pavilion before lunch to trigger a collapse from which Delhi couldn't fully recover.
Although Rajat Bhatia (39) and Vaibhav Rawal (25) added 59 runs for the fifth wicket, Haryana's five-man seam attack maintained the pressure throughout the day by not giving away easy runs.

For Haryana, left-arm seamer Sanjay Badhwar (4/56 in 19 overs) was the pick of the bowlers while senior pro Joginder Sharma (2/32 in 17.2 overs) also troubled the batsmen with seam and swing.
Punit Bisht scored a quickfire 33 with six fours and a six but didn't last long.
All eyes were on Sehwag and Gambhir but both of them looked horribly out of touch as Joginder troubled them on a track that had good carry as well as movement after pitching.
After Unmukt was dismissed trying to hit a cover drive off Badhwar, Sehwag walked out there in the middle in the very second over.

The duo batted together for 10 overs but didn't for once were able to dominate the bowling.
