Rajat Paliwal Scores Century in Ranji Trophy Match Against Delhi
· Sports · Indian Express, Sportstar
Services captain Rajat Paliwal scored an unbeaten 111 against Delhi in their Ranji Trophy match at the Palam Airforce Complex Ground in New Delhi. Paliwal has instructed scorers to keep his individual tallies off the scoreboard since the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain focus, meaning he only realised he had reached his 21st first-class century through the reactions of the opposition players. The veteran batter walked in at 27/3 and anchored the innings to help Services reach a total of 266. At 34, Paliwal is currently in his 16th year with the Services team and has been working on his fitness to extend his career.
Why it matters
Paliwal's knock was critical for Services after an early top-order collapse, providing the team with a competitive total in a key Ranji Trophy fixture.
