Chasing 538 to win, the visitors lost their top five batsmen for 223 on Day Four, but Wadkar and Harsh Dubey (65) gave Mumbai a tough time, sharing 130-run stand in 255 balls. Finally off-spinner Tanush Kotian (4-95) broke the partnership by dismissing Wadkar leg before. It resulted in Mumbai’s 169-run win for their 42nd Ranji title. “When Karun Nair and I and then Harsh Dubey and I were batting, they [Mumbai] had a lot of discussions about field changes, bowling changes. I was observing captain Rahane whether he was harsh on his bowlers because that would give us some indication about where we were going in the game. But he was cool and calm. So, we felt that we are still far away from the game and need to keep patient and perform,” Wadkar told reporters after the final on Thursday.
