Sounding pleased in scoring only his second first-class century, that too against Mumbai after a dozen years, Railways captain Karn Sharma said that more importantly it has put his team in a strong position to win the Ranji Trophy league game at Wankhede.

"Coming back after two years [played for Andhra in the intervening period] and scoring a century after 12 years, and that too against Mumbai, is a great feeling and also because it has helped the team. That that is more important," Karn, 32, said at the end of the second day's play. Railways took a handy 152-run first innings lead and then reduced the hosts to 63-3 in the second to hold the upper hand going into Day Three.
