Arya’s 199 and Badoni’s century lift Delhi to 381 for four

Delhi reached 381 for four at stumps on the opening day against Gujarat in their Ranji Trophy match on October 18, with Priyansh Arya dismissed for 199 and captain Ayush Badoni unbeaten on 115. The innings left Delhi in a strong position after a 234-run fourth-wicket partnership between the two batters. Arya, an opener, was bowled by Gujarat’s Manan Hingrajia after a delivery stayed low, ending his innings one run short of a double century. The reports describe the 199 as his maiden first-class century and say he reached the milestone before continuing to attack. He was playing in his third Ranji Trophy appearance, according to one account. Accounts differ on the number of balls Arya faced and the number of fours he hit. Most reports give his innings as 199 from 220 balls, with 24 fours and six sixes; one gives 221 balls, while another lists 26 fours. The shared score and dismissal details are consistent across the reports, but the supplied material does not independently corroborate the match account. Badoni’s unbeaten 115 came from 149 balls, according to reports, and included 11 fours and two sixes. His stand with Arya helped Delhi recover after Gujarat took three wickets....
