The Duleep Trophy final had been touted as a battle between the star-studded batting unit from West Zone and the fast bowlers from South Zone, exclusively made up of three hometown boys. Day Two of the contest lived up to that expectation as Vidwath Kaverappa, Vyshak Vijaykumar and V Koushik ran rings around West to take a strong grip over proceedings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Around the frustrations of a stop-start routine, the three quicks found enough drive and verve to push West to a corner. When bad light and then driving rain forced a halt to the proceedings, West were floundering at 129-7 with their celebrated array of big names back in the pavilion.
