On the other hand, to tell you about this match in detail, Rest of India captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and decided to bowl, inviting Mumbai to bat first. Batting first, Mumbai got its first blow very soon. Prithvi Shaw was caught out against Mukesh Kumar in the third over after scoring 4 runs.

Apart from this, opener Ayush Matre also became the victim of Mukesh Kumar after scoring 19 runs. However, wicketkeeper Hardik Taimor, who was in form during the Duleep Trophy, was once again out against Mukesh Kumar without scoring any runs.

However, Ajinkya Rahane, who came to bat after this, played responsibly and took charge of Mumbai’s innings by making a partnership of 132 runs for the fourth wicket with Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas was caught out against Yash Dayal after scoring 57 runs.

But after this, Sarfaraz Khan, who came to bat, continued to support Rahane by scoring 54* runs till the end of the day’s play. Till now there has been an unbroken partnership of 98 runs between the two for the 5th wicket, which seems to be increasing further on the second day of the game. For Rest of India, Mukesh Kumar got 3 wickets and Yash Dayal got 1 wicket.
