NEW DELHI: Yash Rathod and Akshay Wadkar stitched together an unbeaten 91-run partnership as Vidarbha recovered from a mini-collapse to take a 260-run lead against Mumbai at stumps on Day 3 of their Ranji Trophy semifinal in Nagpur on Wednesday.
After dismissing Mumbai for 270 and securing a crucial 113-run first-innings lead, Vidarbha found themselves in early trouble at 56/4, thanks to Shams Mulani’s (2/50) incisive spell. However, Rathod (59*) and Wadkar (31*) stabilized the innings, guiding the hosts to 147/4 in 53 overs by the close of play.
