Ranji Trophy: Ahlawat stands tall for Services against his former team

Mohit Ahlawat delivered a career-defining performance for Services against his former side, Delhi, by scoring his maiden First Class century. His aggressive 142-run knock, which included seven sixes, helped his team establish a 202-run lead by the close of play.

Earlier, Delhi was dismissed for 344, with Sumit Mathur falling just one run short of a century. Jayant Goyat spearheaded the Services bowling attack, securing his first five-wicket haul in the format.

Services faced early trouble at 13 for two before Ahlawat, stepping in for the unwell Vineet Dhankhar, stabilized the innings. He shared significant partnerships with Ravi Chauhan and Rajat Paliwal to put his team in a commanding position.

Delhi's bowling effort was led by Navdeep Saini, who claimed two early wickets, but the visitors maintained control through the remainder of the day.
