Ajinkya Rahane, the skipper, and Shreyas Iyer both put on another disastrous display during the home team's middle-order collapse, leaving the batting great dissatisfied with Mumbai's batting performance
Former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar turned his attention to the Ranji Trophy final, which is taking place between Mumbai and Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium. With Team India’s Test series against England coming to an end on Saturday, where the hosts won by an innings and 64 runs in Dharamsala to seal the five-match match 4-1, Tendulkar moved his focus to the competition. Ajinkya Rahane, the skipper, and Shreyas Iyer both put on another disastrous display during the home team’s middle-order collapse, leaving the batting great dissatisfied with Mumbai’s batting performance.
When Mumbai was given the chance to bat first, openers Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani put up a solid 81-run partnership until Yash Thakur removed the latter and Harsh Dubey removed the former a few overs later, leaving the hosts at 89 for two in 22.2 overs. After that, Mumbai was four down for 99 runs before lunch. Rahane’s bad fortune continued when he was out for just seven off 35 in the second session of Day 1, and Umesh Yadav sent Iyer packing in yet another terrible display by the Indian batsman.
As a result, Mumbai’s middle order crumbled, going from 89 for two to 111 for six in 97 balls, allowing Vidarbha to get a solid hold of first innings. In his social media post, Sachin criticized Mumbai’s “ordinary batting” effort despite heaping admiration on the visiting bowlers for their comeback.
After a good start, the @MumbaiCricAssoc batters played some ordinary cricket. On the other hand, Vidarbha have kept things simple and put Mumbai under pressure. I am sure there will be many exciting sessions in this game as the match unfolds. The wicket has grass cover, but the… pic.twitter.com/vVLI4QRGPP
Shardul Thakur fought a solitary struggle against Vidarbha despite the collapse, leaving Mumbai at 202 for eight at Tea with his undefeated innings of 58.
Thakur attempted to rally Mumbai for the second time following his incredible century-plus innings in last week’s quarterfinal encounter against Tamil Nadu.
