MYSORE: Opener
Akhil Herwadkar
missed out on a hundred by four runs as Mumbai reached 244 for five at stumps on day one of their
Ranji Trophy Group A match against Railways here today.
Herwadkar batted for the better part of the day anchoring the innings with other contributions coming from
Shreyas Iyer (70) and
Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 60.
Herwadkar hit 15 fours and a six before falling four runs short of a third straight hundred in as many games.
The southpaw had struck 153 and 106 against
Madhya Pradesh
and Baroda respectively.
His good work then was carried forward by Yadav, who played a very patient knock.
Herwadkar's dismissal led to fall of two quick wickets --
Aditya Tare and Siddhesh Lad -- with leggie
Karn Sharma doing the damage towards the end of the day.
Brief scores: Mumbai 244/5 in 90 overs (Herwadkar 96, Iyer 70; Karn Sharma 3/56).
