NAGPUR: Mohd Faiz is known for his powerful shots, mostly played from the crease. The southpaw's effortless hits have blown away many opponents before, but on Sunday, he paced his innings beautifully to save Vidarbha the blushes.
In the ongoing quarterfinal of Cooch Behar Trophy match, captain Faiz showed his reliable, mature and patient side. He stood like a wall when Vidarbha were in big trouble. He played 515 balls over 11+ hours, constructed a tenacious unbeaten double century and put Vidarbha on top against Maharashtra on Day-2 of the match on Sunday.
