Deservingly, Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar got the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his mesmerizing first morning spell when he got four top-order wickets to bowl Saurashtra out for 98 and literally pocket the game.

“There was some assistance early on and we tried to bowl them out as quickly as possible. I focus on my line and length,” Mukesh said after the game.
His skipper Hanuma Vihari was all praise for Sarfaraz Khan, who bailed the team out with a brilliant hundred on the opening day. “We were in a tough situation on a wicket which was helping for the bowlers, Sarfaraz batted beautifully. The 220-run partnership (him and Sarfaraz) helped us to gain the momentum and we took the game away from them.” Vihari scored a cautious 82 off 184 balls, but wasn’t disappointed on missing out on a hundred.
“I wanted to get the hundred because I worked hard. I batted long, but at the end the of the day, the contribution helped the team and I am happy.” For Saurashtra captain Unadkat, the first-day track was very unlike Rajkot one and that made the difference.
“We crumbled under the conditions. It wasn’t a typical Rajkot wicket. We had to be in the game in that session and we couldn’t do it. It was about an extraordinary performance from someone who could have pulled out of that situation, didn’t happen but we fought till the end.
