Ranji Final: Nair, Wadkar Innings Help Vidarbha Fightback Against Gritty Mumbai Spinners
BCCI Domestic: Mumbai, with their eyes set on a record 42nd title, found themselves in the driver's seat on day four of the Ranji Trophy final, but Vidarbha's resilient batting line-up, led by Karun Nair and captain Akshay Wadkar, stood as formidable obstacles in their path to victory.
However, Musheer Khan's late blow to dismiss Nair on 74 helped Mumbai to take charge of the game yet again as visitors ended the day on 248 for 5, still 290 runs away from the 538 target.
As the slow-moving day progressed, Mumbai's spinners toiled hard on a surface offering ample turn. Despite conceding a first-innings lead, Vidarbha's batters were determined not to go down without a fight. Their cautious approach meant that Mumbai had to earn every wicket, with spinners dominating the proceedings.
