A day after being picked for the India Under-19 team for the U-19 Asia Cup in UAE, Mumbai's 17-year-old talented opener Ayush Mhatre, perhaps celebrating the call-up, slammed his second first-class century, scoring a fine unbeaten 107 (127b, 12x4, 3x6) to put Mumbai in a strong position against Services on Day Two of their Elite Group A Ranji Trophy match at the Air Force ground in Palam.
Mhatre had earlier in the season scored 176 against Maharashtra at the Sharad Pawar Academy in BKC. Replying to Services' first innings total of 240, Mumbai had collapsed to 29 for two when pacer Nitin Yadav took the wickets of opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi (1) and Siddhesh Lad (10).
