Roshan Chinchwalkar from Virar and his 17-year-old college-going nephew Tanay Sawant from Malwan, who was visiting his uncle for Diwali, travelled all the way on Saturday afternoon to watch Mohammed Shami bowl at the Wankhede Stadium in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Karnataka.

However, Chinchwalkar and Sawant returned home disappointed after watching Shami live for the first time, as he conceded 56 runs in his four overs. Karnataka made 184 after being put into bat, with Karun Nair top-scoring with 53. Bengal were never in the hunt, managing only 165-9 to lose by 19 runs with only Sudip Gharami (65) and Shahbaz Ahmed (56) offering some resistance.
