Sachin Tendulkar, the demi-god of Indian cricket, on Sunday criticized the way Mumbai batters played against Vidarbha in the final of the Ranji Trophy at the Wankhede Stadium. Tendulkar was left disappointed at the batting performance of Mumbai as the home team suffered a middle-order collapse, which included another flop show from skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer despite a strong opening partnership between Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani.
Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani gave Mumbai a strong start with an 81-run stand before Yash Thakur dismissed Lalwani. Harsh Dubey got the wicket of Shaw a few overs later, leaving the Team Mumbai at 89 for two in 22.2 overs. Mumbai then faced four wickets down for 99 runs before lunch. Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer, who are the two most experienced batters in the side, scored seven runs each.
The middle order of team Mumbai collapsed from 89 for two to 111 for six in the next 97 balls.
