Chhattisgarh delivered a commanding performance in their Col C K Nayudu Trophy match against Nagaland, securing an emphatic victory by an innings and 228 runs at the Sector 10 B S P Cricket Stadium in Bhilai. The win underscores Chhattisgarh’s strength in the tournament as they continue to make their mark with one of their most decisive victories yet.

The match was dominated by Chhattisgarh’s star batsman, Ashish Kumar Dahariya, who played a spectacular innings of 252* off 293 deliveries. His double-century, marked by a blend of technique and aggression, anchored Chhattisgarh’s innings, which culminated in a total of 411/3 declared. Dahariya’s contribution was pivotal, as Nagaland’s bowlers struggled to contain his assault.

Nagaland’s response was shaky from the start, collapsing for just 113 runs in their first innings. Mughavi Sumi showed some resilience with his 38-run knock, but Chhattisgarh’s bowling attack, led by Gaurav Chaturvedi’s superb figures of 4/15, proved too much for Nagaland to handle.

The second innings saw an even more devastating collapse, with Nagaland bundled out for a mere 70 runs in just 20.2 overs. Chhattisgarh’s Varun Singh Bhuie tore through Nagaland’s lineup, taking an impressive 6/17 to seal the victory. Vishal Sahani’s quick 14 was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal batting performance from Nagaland.

With this resounding win, Chhattisgarh solidifies its position as a top contender in the Col C K Nayudu Trophy. As the tournament progresses, they will be looking to carry forward this momentum into their upcoming matches, while Nagaland will need to regroup and focus on improving their performance.

Chhattisgarh’s next match will be closely watched as they continue their journey in the tournament with heightened confidence.
