One moment can change a match. Mumbai waited for THAT moment for nearly six hours yesterday and it eventually arrived in the final over of the second day's play during their Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match against table-toppers Saurashtra at Wankhede Stadium.
Mumbai pacer Minad Manjrekar kept bowling short to Sheldon Jackson, who hit a boundary on the first ball. A couple of dot balls later, Sheldon once again pulled one to the fence. Manjrekar bowled another short one on the penultimate ball of his over, but Jackson mistimed it this time and was brilliantly caught by a diving Shubham Ranjane at midwicket for 95.
