Ranji Trophy: Delhi's Ayush Doseja admits second-season blues after hitting season's first fifty
A year on from a prolific 949-run season, Ayush Doseja has faced outside noise and a string of unfortunate dismissals in the Ranji Trophy. The Delhi batter insists his confidence remains intact, credits the Bengal attack for a valuable challenge and believes patience, consistency and an attacking style will help him convert starts into big scores and push towards India A.
Ayush Doseja, a promising southpaw for Delhi, has expressed disappointment over his second season in domestic cricket. Despite scoring 949 runs last year, he has struggled to convert his starts into larger scores in the ongoing Ranji Trophy campaign. Doseja's frustrations stem from a series of unfortunate dismissals, including a run-out, which have left him short of a much-needed century.
However, he remains focused on staying at the crease longer and avoiding mistakes. Doseja acknowledges the increased expectations placed on him following his impressive first-season performances and his inclusion in the Rest of India squad and Duleep Trophy. He downplays the pressure, considering it a privilege rather than a burden.
Despite his latest dismissal, Doseja remains optimistic about his game, crediting the support of coaches Wasim Jaffer and Hrishikesh Kanitkar in helping him focus on his batting and ignoring external distractions. The southpaw believes that consistent run-scoring, backed by an attacking style, is the key to advancing in cricket.
