NAGPUR: Going round-the-wicket, pitching it between middle and leg and spinning it square to clip the bails form a recipe of a dream ball of any left-arm spinner. On Saturday, just three balls into the third morning, Aditya Sarwate bowled his dream ball to castle Rahul Tripathi and set the tone for Vidarbha’s pursuit of first innings lead.
Tripathi was Sarwate’s second wicket and Maharashtra were two down for 46. From there, Sarwate became the nemesis of each batsmen and a wrecker-in-chief with a five-for.
