Despite scoring three centuries in three weeks, there is still some uncertainty looming over right-handed batsman Jay Bista's spot in the playing XI for Mumbai's next Ranji Trophy encounter against Odisha in Bhubaneswar from November 1. Bista got an opportunity to come back into the Mumbai Ranji team after opening the season with a double ton (212) against Tamil Nadu in the CK Nayudu Trophy in Thirunelveli early this month. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands, scoring a crucial 135 against Madhya Pradesh at Indore that helped Mumbai earn three crucial points in their season opener.
