NAGPUR: A day after helping Vidarbha reach a respectable total with a century, allrounder Dharmendra Thakur sent the Maharashtra outfit on the backfoot on Monday. He took two important wickets and put Vidarbha in the driver's seat on Day-3 of the Cooch Behar Trophy quarterfinal match in Pune.
Right-arm pacer Dharmendra (11-4-23-2) provided an important breakthrough by breaking the opening wicket partnership which led to Maharashtra losing momentum as well as 6 wickets within the next 24 overs in the last session.
