It's just impossible to take your place for granted in this Mumbai team, said comeback man Akhil Herwadkar, who struck an unbeaten 108 to hand Mumbai a seven wicket-win against Goa in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite group 'A' match in Bangalore yesterday.

Thanks to some disciplined bowling by pacer Dhawal Kulkarni (3-32), and Royston Dias, Shivam Dube and Shams Mulani, who claimed two wickets apiece, Mumbai bundled out Goa for a mere 186. In reply, Mumbai chased down the target in 35.3 overs. Herwadkar was not selected in the Mumbai squad for the first three games of this tournament, but as Ajinkya Rahane and Prithvi Shaw are in Rajkot on national duty, the opener got his chance and made it count.
