NAGPUR: After the exit of Wasim Jaffer as professional, the onus of Vidarbha middle-order has been on the other professional - Ganesh Satish - to step-up when Vidarbha are in dire straits. Same was the case on Thursday.
Vidarbha, chasing at least a first-innings lead if not an outright victory to stay in contention for the knockouts, was boosted by Satish's presence in the middle after the departure of skipper Faiz Fazal and R Sanjay in the first seven overs. In no time after taking the guard, Satish, Vidarbha's mainstay, dispatched Maharashtra pacers on both sides of the wicket to script a comeback for his team at Sultanpur, Gurgaon.
