Mumbai pacer Tushar Deshpande admitted that it was a tough day in the office for the bowling unit as Vidarbha ended Day 4 on 248-5, chasing 538 runs for victory, in the Ranji Trophy final at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.
“It’s been tough because the pitch has slowed down considerably. Also, it’s been tough for us because we didn’t bowl our regular spells of four, five or six overs which we do on a normal, flat pitch or on a helpful green pitch. Here it was about bowling in short bursts and putting the batsmen under pressure and giving a supporting role to the spinners,” Deshpande told reporters at stumps.
