Mumbai Wins Third Straight Ranji Trophy Match

Mumbai crushed Haryana by 10 wickets to register their third consecutive bonus-point victory in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match.

Off-spinner Tanush Kotian celebrated his 50th first-class appearance with a career-best 8/81 and finished with match figures of 11 wickets.

Mumbai openers Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena made light work of the Haryana bowling attack, racing to victory in just 10.4 overs without losing a wicket. Raghuvanshi remained unbeaten on 67, while Saxena remained not out on 30.

The emphatic win earned Mumbai seven points, taking their tally to 21 from three matches and strengthening their position at the top of Group D. Mumbai will next face Railways in an away fixture beginning November 2.

Kotian's performance was the standout effort in another comprehensive victory for Mumbai, whose combination of disciplined bowling and aggressive batting has given them a flying start to their Ranji Trophy campaign.

Mumbai had earlier registered bonus-point victories over Chandigarh at home and Himachal Pradesh away, underlining their dominance in the opening three rounds of the competition.

The Ranji Trophy will resume in January.
