Nishant Sindhu Hits 105 Against Mumbai

Nishant Sindhu, a 22-year-old left-hander, scored an unbeaten 105 off 251 deliveries in the first innings for Haryana against Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match.

He hit eight boundaries and a six during his 333-minute stay at the crease. With Haryana forced to follow on, Sindhu remained unbeaten on 22 after spending another 87 minutes in the middle.

Sindhu credited his experience of playing on turning tracks at Haryana's home ground in Lahli for helping him negotiate Mumbai's spin attack. He also said interacting with experienced players, including former India captain MS Dhoni, had helped him develop a more mature approach to batting.

Haryana still trails by 87 runs and has eight wickets in hand, with much depending on Sindhu's ability to extend his resistance on the final day.
