Ranji Trophy: Ayush Doseja admits second-season blues after hitting season's first fifty

Delhi left-hander Ayush Doseja opened up about his sophomore slump in domestic cricket after finally recording his maiden half-century of the current campaign. Having piled up nearly a thousand runs during his breakthrough run previously, the young batsman managed 78 before falling to an unlucky leg-side dismissal during the ongoing fixture against Services.

Doseja admitted that heightened expectations and earlier missed opportunities created external chatter, though he maintained that his overall batting rhythm remained solid despite failing to turn previous starts into three-digit scores. His patient knock helped steady his side after a challenging start to the contest, moving the team past the opposition total by the close of the second day's play.
