Mukesh Kumar’s Brilliant Start

Mumbai struggled from the very beginning, as Mukesh Kumar delivered an exceptional performance with the ball. He dismissed Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, and Hardik Tamore in quick succession. The highlight of the match came when Devdutt Padikkal took a spectacular catch to dismiss Shaw, giving the Rest of India an early breakthrough. Mhatre, who looked in good form, was soon sent back, and Tamore couldn’t open his account, leaving Mumbai at 60/3 in 20 overs.
