Siddharth Desai Shatters Gujarat Cricket Record with Nine Wickets
In a stunning display of bowling prowess, Siddharth Desai achieved a remarkable milestone in first-class cricket during a Ranji Trophy match against Uttarakhand. Playing at the Gujarat College Cricket Ground A in Ahmedabad, Desai’s extraordinary figures of 9-36 have set a new record for Gujarat cricket, surpassing the previous best of 8-31 held by Rakesh Vinubhai Dhurv since 2012.
A Dominating Performance
Uttarakhand’s innings crumbled as they were bowled out for a mere 111 runs in just 30 overs, with Desai claiming nine wickets, including the crucial scalps of Avneesh Sudha and Aditya Tare. His spell began in the fifth over, where he swiftly dismissed three batsmen in four deliveries, showcasing his exceptional skills and strategic bowling.
Desai’s Bowling Journey
By the 15th over, Desai had already secured a five-wicket haul, trapping Kunal Chandela LBW and bowling out Mayank Mishra. His relentless pursuit of wickets continued as he took the last remaining wickets, solidifying his place in Gujarat cricket history.
Record-Breaking Feats in Indian Cricket
In a related achievement, Haryana bowler Anshul Kamboj etched his name in the annals of cricket history by becoming one of only six Indians to take all ten wickets in a first-class innings against Kerala last November. Such performances highlight the extraordinary talent and competitiveness within Indian cricket.
