Saurashtra coach Sitanshu Kotak was all smiles after being, "rewarded reasonably" for their disciplined effort, which left defending champions Vidarbha reeling at 200 for seven at the end of Day One of the Ranji Trophy final here yesterday. Kotak said removing Wasim Jaffer, who has a penchant to produce big hundreds, cheaply and the strange dismissal of rival captain Faiz Fazal allowed them to take control over the proceedings.
Kotak admitted that if Jaffer gets going, it's difficult to stop the run riot and felt that the in-form batsman perhaps made a mistake by not going for his strokes. Jaffer was dismissed for just 23 by Saurashtra skipper Jaydev Unadkat, who moved one away and Jaffer, without moving his feet, nicked it to first slip.
