The duo put on 512 for the sixth wicket. Interestingly, neither of them had scored even a fifty before. Usama's highest score was 38 whereas Azim's best was 43. Batting at No 7, Usama's 277 came off just 201 balls. Though disappointed on missing out on a triple ton, he was satisfied that the match was wrapped up inside two days. "We also participate in other tournaments. It's good that we completed the game within two days as we will get proper rest for the next game," he said. Mum passed away Wicketkeeper-batsman Usama used to represent Anjuman-I-Islam when he started out, but moved to Chiplun to stay with his mother. However, after his mother succumbed to cancer last year, he returned to Mumbai, and chose to play for Rizvi.
