Rayudu, Binny take India to 255/6 against Zimbabwe

Ambati Rayudu

Harare: Ambati Rayudu registered his second One-Day International (ODI) century and shared a 160-run partnership with Stuart Binny (77) to take India to 255/6 against Zimbabwe in their first of the three-match series at the Harare Sports Club here on Friday.

Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura won the toss and asked India to bat and his bowlers proved him right as India reeled at 87/5 in the 25th over. This was when Binny, who scored his maiden half-century, joined hands with Rayudu and the duo absorbed the pressure and scored at a very good pace to give India a competitive total.

Rayudu, who made his ODI debut here on July 24, 2013 against the same opposition, played a flawless innings more with the straight bat, while Binny used his long handle to good effect as India recovered well after the early wobble.

India got off to a poor start as opening batsman Murali Vijay offered a catch to Vusi Sibanda off left-arm pacer Brian Vetori bowling in the fourth over. The Test regular scored one run in 14 deliveries as Zimbabwe bowlers Tinashe Panyangara and Vetori operated with tight line and lengths.

After Vijay’s fall, Rayudu joined his captain Ajinkya Rahane in the middle and they forged a 59-run partnership for the second wicket to ease the visitors’ pressure.

Rahane looked solid for a 34 before the Mumbai right-hander offered a catch to Hamilton Masakadza off Donald Tiripano in the 18th over. After the skipper’s wicket, the Indian innings wobbled as Manoj Tiwary (2), Robin Uthappa (0) and Kedar Jadhav (5) fell cheaply.

While right-arm medium pacer Chamu Chibhabha accounted for Tiwary and Jadhav, Karnataka batsman Uthappa ran himself out.

With the tourists struggling at 87/5, all-rounder Binny and Rayudu combined well and shouldered the responsibility of pulling the team out of trouble. While Binny was the aggressor, Rayudu’s was a calculated effort.

Baroda batsman Rayudu took 72 deliveries to get his fifty while his next 50 runs came in 45 balls as India added 90 runs in the final 10 overs.

For Zimbabwe, Chibhabha was the best bowler as he picked up two wickets for 25 runs in 10 overs. Tiripano also bagged two wickets for 48 runs and Vetori got one wicket.

New Delhi: N. Srinivassan, his son in law Meiyappan, Sunder Raman former COO IPL, Rak kundra, co owner of Rajasthan royals and husband of bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, figure in the list of those Mudgal committee, who probed the IPL match fixing and betting, mentioned in its report.

Supreme Court today revealed the six names including Stuart Binny who was named in the remaining two ODI against Sri Lanka.

After the revelation the AGM of BCCI has been postponed for four weeks. The meeting was scheduled to be held on 20th of November. The meeting was to be followed by the elections of BCCI President. Former president Srinivasan had to step down after Mudgal committee mentioned his son inlaw in the IPL match fixing.

Srinivasan is desperately trying to make a come back and postponement may come a breather for him as it will give him more time to garner the support.

Supreme Court has not mentioned their roles in the match fixing. Mudgal Committee has mentioned 13 names in its report which was submitted to the apex court.

The apex court bench headed by Justice T. S. Thakur said that the report dealing with the conduct and role of Srinivsasan, Meiyappan, BCCI official Sundar Raman and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra will be given to these four people as well as to the BCCI and the petitioner Cricket Association of Bihar.

The court, however, said that the names of the players named in the report will be held back for the time being.

The court said all the parties will file their objections to the report within four days of its receipt and they will have the liberty to file responses to rival objections in another four days and directed the listing of the matter for Nov 24.

The court recorded the statement by BCCI counsel T.A. Sundaram that the meeting of the BCCI annual general body which was scheduled to be held Nov 20, will now take place after four weeks.

The sixth IPL season last year was marred with a major controversy after police launched legal proceedings against several IPL officials and cricketers, including former Test fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, for illegal betting and spot-fixing.

The IPL, which began in 2008, features the world`s top players signed up for huge fees by companies and high-profile individuals in a glitzy mix of sport and entertainment.
