Kolkata:<\/strong> Skipper Laxmi Ratan Shukla shone with both bat and ball to steer hosts Bengal to a 90-run victory over Jharkhand in their first match of the East Zone ODI championships for the Vijay Hazare trophy at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In reply to Bengal’s 241 all out off 48.2 overs, Jharkhand, who opted to field after winning the toss, collapsed to 151 in 40.4 overs.<\/p>\n

Shukla, after scoring a gutsy 82 off 92 balls (7×4 and one six), bagged two vital Jharkhand wickets later.<\/p>\n

The dependable Bengal all-rounder, who was caught by Manoj Singh off medium pacer Kuldip Sharma, was ably assisted by opener Wridhiman Saha and Manoj Tiwary.<\/p>\n

While Saha made 44 (7×4 and 1×6) before being caught by Rameez Nemat off medium pacer Rahul Shukla, Tiwary was caught and bowled by off-spinner Keshab Kumar. Tiwary scored 37 off 57 balls (2×4).<\/p>\n

Former Indian skipper and Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders captain Sourav Ganguly, however, fell early after a breezy start notching 17 off 20 balls with four boundaries.<\/p>\n

Ganguly, who was aiming a lofted drive, fell to a Kuldip Sharma delivery spooning to Subrata Ghosh.<\/p>\n

Sharma, the most successful Jharkhand bowler, bagged four Bengal wickets conceding 33 runs in nine overs while left arm spinner Manoj Singh took two Bengal wickets for 41 runs.<\/p>\n

For the visitors, Ishank Jaggi and Sourav Tiwary were going great guns before they were outwitted by Shukla on 29 and 32 respectively.<\/p>\n

Apart from Jaggi and Tiwary, only Keshab Kumar offered some resistance notching up 31 runs (not out).<\/p>\n

While Shukla conceded 17 runs in five overs, medium pacer Abhik choudhury and left-arm spinner Iresh Saxena bagged two scalps each. Senior Bengal medium pacer Ranadeb Bose and Ashok Dinda bagged one wicket each.<\/p>\n

Shukla said he was happy with the outcome. “It was a good day for us as well as for me,” he said. On Ganguly’s performance, Shukla said, “Dada (Ganguly) is playing match after some time. He will come up with a bigger score in the next match.”<\/p>\n

Bengal earned five points including one bonus in this match while Jharkhand conceded a point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
