Hrithik Shokeen Claims Maiden Five-Wicket Haul for Delhi in Ranji Trophy
· Sports · Sportstar, Times of India, Cricbuzz
Delhi off-spinning all-rounder Hrithik Shokeen claimed his maiden First Class five-wicket haul against Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy. Bowling 53 overs on a unresponsive track at the Palam 'B' ground in New Delhi, the 26-year-old returned figures of five for 143 to help Delhi secure a first-innings lead. Shokeen has played only 17 games across five seasons due to sporadic selection and a lower-back stress fracture that required adjustments to his bowling action and follow-through. He credited coach Vijay Dahiya for instilling the confidence necessary to deliver a strong performance.
Why it matters
Consistent backing and injury recovery are critical for domestic cricketers trying to establish long-term stability in state bowling lineups.
