Mumbai team had to face a crushing defeat in the Buchi Babu tournament. TNCA XI defeated Mumbai by a huge margin of 286 runs. With this big win over Mumbai, TNCA XI entered the semi-finals of the tournament. The surprising thing here is that Mumbai team had many great batsmen but it had to face a crushing defeat. Neither Shreyas Iyer nor Sarfaraz Khan performed well. Suryakumar Yadav got injured and after failing in the first innings, he did not even bat in the second innings. Mumbai had a target of 510 runs and it was reduced to 223 runs in the second innings.

Mumbai is in bad shape

Mumbai's team was in a very bad shape in the second innings too but Shams Mulani somehow saved the team's honour by scoring 68 runs.

Before him, Mushir Khan could score 40 runs. Shreyas Iyer scored only 22 runs. Sarfaraz Khan did not even open his account. Left-arm spinner Sai Kishore took 3 wickets in the second innings. He had also taken five wickets in the first innings. After a poor performance against TNCA, Mumbai's team has been eliminated from the tournament.

Shreyas, Surya and Sarfaraz got a shock

If Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan had performed well in this match, their path to return to the Test team could have been strengthened. Team India has to play a Test series against Bangladesh at home next month. However, now all three players could not perform well. By the way, if we talk about Sarfaraz, he was a part of Team India during the Test series against England, now it remains to be seen whether the selectors will give him a chance or not.
