Parth Rekhade: In just his second First-Class match, Parth Rekhade produced a game-changing spell that rattled Mumbai’s formidable middle-order and left them with an uphill task in their Ranji Trophy semifinal against Vidarbha on Day Two at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha here on Tuesday.

At stumps on the second day, Mumbai were 188/7, trailing by 195 runs.

Rahane was the first to fall for 18, undone by a ball that rolled back onto his stumps off a defensive shot. Two balls later, Suryakumar Yadav, known for his aggressive stroke play, jabbed at an in-drifter with hard hands, only to see Danish Malewar at silly point complete a sharp catch after an initial deflection off the pad. The drama didn’t end there, as Shivam Dube, attempting to play back to a delivery that skidded across from around the stumps, edged it to slip where Atharva Taide took a stunning catch.
