Mumbai vs Vidarbha LIVE, Day 2 (MUM vs VID): The stage is set for a thrilling day two in the Ranji Trophy final as Mumbai looks to tighten their grip on the match against Vidarbha. Day one belonged largely to the hosts, who despite a shaky middle order, managed to post a respectable total of 224 runs.

Mumbai Recovers from Early Collapse

Sent in to bat, Mumbai got off to a promising start with openers Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani putting on an 81-run partnership. However, a familiar middle-order collapse saw them lose wickets in quick succession, tumbling from a comfortable position to 111/6.

Enter Shardul Thakur, the hero of the hour. The all-rounder played a valiant knock of 75 runs off just 69 deliveries, rescuing Mumbai from the brink of disaster. His aggressive batting, featuring some well-timed boundaries and sixes, injected much-needed momentum into the innings. The lower order chipped in with valuable contributions, allowing Mumbai to add a crucial 120 runs for their final four wickets.

Vidarbha’s bowling attack, which started brightly with Harsh Dubey claiming three wickets, couldn’t sustain the pressure in the face of Thakur’s onslaught. The momentum shifted decisively in Mumbai’s favor as the hosts struck late blows with the ball.

Dhawal Kulkarni, in his farewell game, displayed his experience with a probing spell that yielded two wickets. Shardul Thakur continued his impressive day by dismissing Vidarbha opener Dhruv Shorey for a duck. By the end of the day, Vidarbha found themselves reeling at 31/3, trailing Mumbai by a significant 193 runs.
