However, a fighting partnership between Hanuma Vihari (40 batting) and Ajinkya Rahane (25 batting) cut the deficit to make the contest interesting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Wakhare accounted for the wicket of Agarwal, Aditya Sarwate packed back Anmolpreet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: Rest of India 330 &amp; 102 for 2 (Hanuma Vihari 40 not out, Ajinkya Rahane 25 not out) vs Vidarbha 425 all out (Akshay Karnewar 102 not out, Akshay Wadkar 73; Rahul Chahar 4-112)<\/p>\r\n",
