MUM VS MP FINAL REPORT DAY 2

Mumbai has found strength and spine through Sarfaraz Khan. The 134th hitter (243b, 13×4, 2×6) mixed chutzpah and a strong determination to give the former champion the lead over Madhya Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy finals underway at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on next Thursday. At the end of Monday, Madhya Pradesh scored 123 for one of its first innings while answering Mumbai’s 374.

Madhya Pradesh openers Yash Dubey and Himanshu Mantri added 47, with the latter shining with left-handed spinner Shams Mulani, lifting two six. But after drinking tea, sailor Tushar Deshpande was trapped by the invader. Mumbai got the breakthrough but for the rest of the final session, Dubey and Shubham Sharma fought easily in their unfinished 76-year partnership.

The Mumbai captain, Prithvi Shaw, went bowling and several heavy appeals were never granted. In the first skirmish for the title in the first leg, Dubey and Sharma kept Madhya Pradesh in the chase, setting the stage for an exciting Tuesday.

Earlier, continuing on the night of 248 for the year, Mumbai lost Mulani on its second delivery of the day when Gaurav Yadav plowed one in the back and ruffled the mattresses. From the other end, Sarfaraz watched his departing colleague and spoke softly to the next man Tanush Kotian. Critical to Mumbai, Sarfaraz has cut tails and built a series of key partnerships.

Once Kotian stabilized, Sarfaraz pulled Yadav and swept Kumar Kartikeya through the ropes. And when the number 50 was secured, he signaled to teammates who were clapping in the dressing room, hinting that he would stay on the field and guide his team. He stayed true to his word and, along with Kotian, added 40 for his seventh before Yadav morphed into a lower hitter with a superb serve that moved only one shade to cut the stump. .

Dhawal Kulkarni trudged in and dropped anchor, enjoying some magnified leaves outside the stump, Sarfaraz used a short Yadav pull and as he crossed crashed into the handball. In severe pain as the helmet net hit the side of his face, Sarfaraz rested for a moment before standing up. He drove a four out of Yadav and normal service was restored.

Dhawal died after a solitary but important 36-ball run as part of a 26-time alliance with Sarfaraz. The latter defeated Anubhav Agarwal by four and soon reached the fourth ton of the season. The ecstatic central character displays a flurry of emotions as he acknowledges cheers in addition to letting out a war cry while staring into the dressing room.

Mumbai had a delicious lunch score of 351 for eight and on moving on, Deshpande failed but by then the ninth team partnership had yielded 39. Sarfaraz was the last to be fired. While he tries to run fast, the towering six is ​​part of the package. Thanks to him, Mumbai can believe it is just enough to test the challenger Madhya Pradesh.
