Irani Cup 2024: Sarfaraz Holds The Key As Mumbai, ROI Brace Up For Final-day Showdown
The day had begun with ROI looking to claw back into the game after Mumbai posted a daunting first-innings score of 537. Abhimanyu Easwaran, continuing from his overnight 151, and Dhruv Jurel, who resumed on 30, played with purpose and elegance. The pair put on a magnificent 165-run partnership for the fifth wicket, leading ROI’s resurgence.
Easwaran, untroubled by Mumbai's decision to take the new ball, showed his class and composure. Jurel too played with fluency, though heartbreak awaited him as he fell seven runs short of a well-deserved century. Easwaran, the rock of the innings, finally perished for a brilliant 191. His departure triggered a rapid collapse, as ROI, from a position of strength at 393/4, lost their last six wickets for a paltry 23 runs. They were bowled out for 416, giving Mumbai a significant first-innings lead of 121.
