Overview

  • Shardul Thakur scored a vital 113 not out off 119 balls, including 17 boundaries, to stabilize Mumbai's innings after they were reduced to 101/7 in their second innings.
  • Thakur and Tanush Kotian (58 not out) formed a crucial 173-run unbroken partnership for the eighth wicket, giving Mumbai a 188-run lead at stumps on Day 2.
  • Mumbai's top-order, including Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ajinkya Rahane, struggled again, with Rohit managing 28 runs in the second innings after a first-innings score of 3.
  • Jammu and Kashmir's bowlers, led by Umar Nazir and Auqib Nabi, dominated early but were unable to break the Thakur-Kotian stand as the pitch settled and bowlers fatigued.
  • The match has been marred by controversial umpiring decisions, including Shreyas Iyer surviving a caught-behind appeal and Rahane being controversially recalled after being given out.
