Resuming on his overnight score of 151 not out, Abhimanyu Easwaran alongside wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel, who played a knock of 93, stitched a 165-run partnership for the fifth wicket after Rest of India\u2019s top four faltered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jurel was at his fluent best, taking on the Mumbai spinners with ease. He smashed a maximum and 13 boundaries in his 121-ball innings, but just before lunch, Mulani trapped him with a delivery down the leg side. Attempting to sweep, Jurel got a faint edge, caught cleanly by wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore. A review confirmed the decision and he missed a well-deserved century by just seven runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Easwaran, too, was denied a major milestone, falling for 191 shortly after Jurel\u2019s dismissal. The Bengal captain looked in sublime form but fell victim to Mulani, missing out on a double century by just nine runs. Mulani\u2019s double strike just before the lunch turned the tide in Mumbai\u2019s favour as they claimed two vital wickets in quick succession.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rest of India went into lunch at 400 for 6, with Manav Suthar and Saransh Jain unbeaten at the crease. The last four wickets of ROI fell for just 20 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Mumbai, Mulani and Kotian\u2019s disciplined bowling played a crucial role, while Mohi Avasthi chipped in with two wickets, and debutant Mohammad Juned Khan claimed one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
