\"YuvrajHyderabad<\/strong>: Brilliant hundreds by Yuvraj Singh and captain Shikhar Dhawan took North Zone to a commanding position at the end of the first day of the four-day Duleep Trophy <\/a>semifinal against Central Zone at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. North Zone finished the day with their score at 346\/4. <\/p>\n

The star of the day was comeback man Yuvraj Singh<\/a>, who was playing his first four-day match after successfully defeating a rare germ cell cancer. Yuvraj looked focused and scored at a fluent pace. He played orthodox shots and was unbeaten on 133 at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, captain Dhawan won the toss and elected to bat first on what looked a pretty flat wicket. Dhawan lost his opening partner Rahul Dewan (17) quite early in the innings but had a good partnership with Nitin Saini (35) for the third wicket. After the fall of Saini\u2019s wicket, Yuvraj came into bat and started middling the ball straightaway. <\/p>\n

Both Yuvraj and Dhawan punished the Central Zone bowlers for every lose delivery that they bowled. Together, Dhawan (121) and Yuvraj put up a partnership of 160 runs before Dhawan gave a return catch to Murali Kartik. Number five batsman Mandeep Singh couldn\u2019t do much and got out at an individual score of four.<\/p>\n

Yuvraj and Paras Dodra (30*) were involved in an unbeaten stand of 71 runs before the day ended.<\/p>\n

Brief Score:<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Zone: 346\/4 (Yuvraj 133*, Dhawan 121, Praveen Kumar 2-72)<\/p>\n
