Azim Kazi hit a patient hundred and was wonderfully supplemented by Ashay Palkar with an unbeaten 94.
Which set Maharashtra in a triumphant situation from a close to irredeemable circumstance against Delhi.
On the second day of their Ranji Prize gathering B match here on Wednesday.
After Delhi was bowled out for 191 on the first day, Maharashtra were 305 for 7 with a 114-run lead at stumps.
Maharashtra may win the match thanks to the 211-run partnership of Kazi (119 runs off 260 balls)
And Palkar (94 runs off 240 balls) for the eighth wicket, as Delhi’s pacer Mayank Yadav has been injured.
Maharashtra started the day at 80 for 5, but pacers Simarjeet Singh (3/58 in 31 overs)
And Mayank (2/46 in 17.2 overs) quickly reduced them to 94 for 7 in the first hour.
Left-handed Kazi and Palkar, who plan to bat for a few more hours on the third day,
However, were unable to stop the Delhi bowlers for nearly 78 overs (77.5).
Due to the absence of a specialist bowler.
Delhi skipper Yash Dhull was also hampered by Mayank’s injury
A hamstring pull, after the first hour.
But Kazi and Palkar, Deserve more praise than they deserve.
Off-spinners Nitish Rana (0/48 in 14 overs) and Lalit Yadav (0/22 in 11.4 overs) were also unable to make any decisive inroads.
And left-arm spinner Vikas Mishra (0/75 in 23 overs) was insufficiently potent.
Dhull’s plan to tackle Kazi with two off-break bowlers failed.
In addition to 12 fours from Kazi and 11 from Palkar, both players made a few sixes.
Although Ishant Sharma didn’t cost much (1/46 in 20 overs), he didn’t look particularly threatening during his final spells.
