Mumbai began their Ranji Trophy campaign in emphatic fashion, bowling out Chandigarh twice to register an innings-and-155-run victory inside three days in their Elite Group ‘D’ opener at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

The bowlers laid the foundation for the comprehensive win, delivering with both bat and ball. Pacer Tushar Deshpande (44, 5-17 and 2-37) was the standout performer, while spinners Tanush Kotian (58, 3-30) and Shams Mulani (39, 3-69), pacer Mohit Avasthi (56 not out, 3-9 and 1-42), and Sylvester D’Souza (2-51 and 1-14) also played key roles.
