MUMBAI: The ultimate farewell tribute to Mumbai's veteran seamer Dhawal Kulkarni, who signed off from the game in style by playing a key role (3-15 & 1-38 in the final) in Mumbai's 42nd Ranji Trophy title win, came from Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Thursday.
"Mumbaicha yodha (Mumbai's warrior). Well done on a fantastic career," posted Rohit on Instagram. Indeed, Kulkarni, who finished with 285 wickets in 96 First-Class matches, was a battle-hardened warrior, who produced his best for Mumbai when the stage was bigger and the stakes were higher. Some of Kulkarni's best performances came for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy finals. He was a part of six and played a stellar role in winning five out of them.
