Ranji Trophy: Railways’ dogged batting frustrate Mumbai after Shams Mulani’s 71

During the Ranji Trophy Elite Group D fixture, Railways finished the second day at 116 for two while responding to Mumbai's first-innings total of 396 runs. Shams Mulani contributed a notable 71 runs for Mumbai, anchoring the lower order alongside Akash Anand, who added 52 runs before being dismissed by Himanshu Sangwan to mark the bowler's one hundredth first-class wicket.

Railways openers Sahab Singh and Vivek Singh successfully navigated an aggressive short-ball strategy from Tushar Deshpande and teammates. Vivek ultimately retired hurt on 38 after sustaining a blow from a Mohit Avasthi delivery, allowing Mumbai spinners Tanush Kotian and Shams Mulani to probe further, though Railways maintained their defensive stance through stumps on Day 2.
