Vijay Hazare Trophy: Kulkarni’s Ton Takes Maharashtra To Victory Over Mumbai, Chhattisgarh And Uttarakhand Also Win
Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group: Arshin Kulkarni struck his second List A century as Maharashtra ended Mumbai's unbeaten streak in the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group C with a commanding 128-run victory on Saturday. The right-handed opener made 114 off 114 balls, hitting 11 fours and three sixes, as he shared a 140-run opening stand with Prithvi Shaw (71 off 75) after Maharashtra elected to bat first in foggy conditions.
Mumbai suffered a setback early when captain Shardul Thakur limped off after bowling just six overs. Shaw appeared set for a century before being trapped lbw by Musheer Khan, who celebrated animatedly, but Maharashtra regrouped through captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's gritty 66 off 52 balls.
Kulkarni and Gaikwad added 108 runs for the third wicket, capitalising on sloppy Mumbai fielding that saw more than five catches being dropped. Ramakrishna Ghosh smashed an unbeaten 64 off 27 balls, including 30 runs off Sylvester D'Souza in one over, propelling Maharashtra to 366/4.
