J&K bowlers shine as Puducherry bowled out for 233 on Day-1

Key Highlights

• Despite the early loss, opener Ajay Rohera anchored the innings with a gritty knock of 94 runs off 211 balls, striking eight boundaries and showing immense patience at the crease.
• Rohera received brief support from JJ Yadav (33), Aman Khan (25), Paras Patnaparkhe (20) and Ragavan (16), but none could convert their starts into substantial scores as the J&K bowlers maintained relentless pressure throughout the day.
• Sunil Kumar and Yudhvir Singh led the bowling attack with three wickets each, effectively dismantling the Puducherry batting line-up.
• Left-arm spinner Vanshaj Sharma chipped in with two crucial wickets, while Aquib Nabi and Abid Mushtaq claimed one wicket apiece.
• At stumps, Jammu & Kashmir reached 0 for 0, with openers Sunil Kumar and Shubham Khajuria safely negotiating the final overs and looking set to capitalize on the strong bowling performance.
