Delhi took the first innings lead against Railways in their Ranji Trophy match, with captain Ayush Badoni top-scoring with 99 runs. Tamil Nadu also came close to securing a quarterfinal berth, needing 97 more runs to defeat Jharkhand.

Delhi come close to erasing the deficit after Ayush Badoni's 99, falling just short of a century. Earlier, Virat Kohli fell disappointingly after just 6(15).

Virat Kohli was castled on 6 runs by Himanshu Sangwan but Ayush Badoni struck 99 off 78 and put Delhi 93 runs ahead with three wickets in hand.
