Great spell yesterday 5 for 13 against India Green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Winning another championship for his team. Way to go. Indian test squad calling.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 75 first class matches, Wakhare, 33, has 263 wickets. On the final day of the match, India Red bowled out India Green for a mere 119 runs inside 40 overs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Only Siddhesh Lad and Akshath Reddy could manage to stay at the crease for a while as none of the India Green batters were able to cope with the pressure created by Wakhare and Avesh Khan. The duo finished with figures of 5\/13 and 3\/38, respectively.<\/p>\r\n",
