Tanush Kotian ripped through Haryana’s batting line‑up, ending with 11 wickets for 151 runs as Mumbai rolled them 10‑wicket‑to‑nil. The 28‑year‑old’s 8‑for‑81 in the second innings was the match‑defining spell, while his first‑innings 3‑for‑70 set the tone.
Kotian’s figures came over a marathon 65.3 overs, a testament to his stamina in the October heat of Mumbai’s BKC ground. His haul also marked his 50th first‑class appearance, the 10‑wicket haul his first ever at that stage of his career.
He credited a new blend of angles and tighter line‑and‑length work for the breakthrough. "I’ve added a few variations and focused on accuracy," Kotian told reporters. "Field placements were crucial—asking for the right set helped me bowl in the good areas and trap the batsmen in doubt."
Mumbai’s triumph is the third consecutive bonus‑point win of the season, keeping them firmly in the top of Elite Group D. The win also boosts Kotian’s chances of national selection, especially with the upcoming Border‑Gavaskar Trophy on the horizon.
Mumbai will next take on Rajasthan in the final group fixture, a match that could further cement Kotian’s place in the spotlight.
