Gujarat push

Defending champions Mumbai took a giant step towards securing a spot in the semis at Eden Gardens, finishing the day with a commanding 292-run lead over Haryana at the end of Day 3 at Eden Gardens International Stadium. Shardul Thakur’s six-wicket haul (6/58) in the morning session ensured Haryana were restricted to 301, just 14 short of Mumbai’s first-innings total.

This was Shardul’s 15th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, underlining his ability to deliver in crucial moments.
