Rohtak: Bhargav Bhatt produced a sensational show of spin bowling with figures of seven for 127 as Baroda crushed Haryana by an innings and 33 runs with a day to spare in the Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match on Friday.
Bhatt denied Haryana any chance of forcing their opponents to bat for the second time by claiming the top and middle order as the home side were all out for 310 after following on on the third and penultimate day of the match.
In the process, 20-year-old Bhatt registered the best first class performance of his career with match figures of 10 for 152 runs.
Haryana, who had conceded a huge 343 run lead to their opponents, made a spirited start to their second essay with their opening pair making 68 runs before Bhatt triggered a mini collapse, removing three batsmen - Rahul Dewan (34), Sunny Singh (3) and Nitin Saini (37) to reduce the hosts to 77 for three.
Heman Badani (79) then involved himself in two substantive partnerships to take the fight to Baroda.
Badani first shared 86 runs for the fourth wicket with Manav Sharma (28) and then stitched 76 runs with Joginder Sharma (47) for the sixth wicket before falling to Munaf Patel.
Haryana were 259 for seven at that stage and the writing was on the wall.
Three Haryana wickets - Joginder, Badani and Amaradeep Sonkar (0) - fell at the same score of 259.
Badani's 79 came from 162 balls from which he hit 10 fours and two sixes.
The last wicket pair of Ashish Hooda (29) and Sanjay Budhwar (19 not out) delayed the inevitable by sharing 48 runs in 8.4 overs before the former departed to hand an innings victory to Baroda and six points from the match.
