Ranji Trophy 2017 Live, Delhi vs Vidarbha: Catch the Live score and all updates here, It is time to build history for first-time Ranji Trophy finalists Vidarbha. The Faiz Fazal-led side that beat Vinay Kumar led-Karnataka in the semifinal by just 5 runs are riding high on the wave set by the overwhelming victory and will look to replicate the momentum against a very strong Delhi side. 

The seven-time champions Delhi, who last gained the premier domestic title a decade ago, will get next chance when they take on the underdogs at Holkar Stadium in Indore. The side led by Rishabh Pant will rely primarily on their strong batting line-up that features the likes of Gautam Gambhir who scored a hundred in the semifinal against Bengal. For Vidarbha, they will again rely on the medium pacer Rajneesh Gurbani who rattled Karnataka’s batting line-up by taking seven-for in the semifinal.

0918 hrs IST: Dhruv Shorey and Gautam Gambhir have batted carefully against the strong bowling line-up that Vidarbha possesses. Interesting to see Fazal handing the first ball to Aditya Thakare, the debutant, rather than to semis hero Rajneesh Gurbani. It has worked wonders for him as he is looking extremely confident on the field right now.

0902 hrs IST: WICKET! Aditya Thakare gets his maiden Ranji wicket in his first over and Vidarbha are on a roll here. Good outswinger and Kunal Chandela knicks it and gives an easy catch at slips to skipper Faiz Fazal. What a moment for the young lad! DEL 0/1

0900 hrs IST: Here we go, and it is the debutant Vidarbha bowler Aditya Thakare starts off with No-ball. It is Kunal Chandela and Gautam Gambhir opening the innings for Delhi.
