England head coach Brendon McCullum’s whatever-it-takes approach to win Test matches has taken the cricketing world by storm in the last year. Certain shades of that resonated in Mumbai’s effort with the bat in the third session of the final day of their Elite Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy tie against Tamil Nadu at the Brabourne Stadium.

Fell 74 short of the target

The Amol Muzumdar-coached unit got to 137-3 after 24.2 overs—74 runs short of the target of 211 that Tamil Nadu had set for them. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane said that teams are pushing hard to secure victories in first-class cricket but also simultaneously acknowledged that the tricky nature of the track on the fourth day eventually prevented Mumbai from landing the final blow. “It was a very good game. That’s what we want to see in first class cricket. Teams are going for it [win],” Rahane said after the game.
