Mumbai salvaged a draw in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match against Karnataka at the KSCA Stadium in Belgaum on Friday with all-rounder Shivam Dubey standing out for Mumbai with his impressive haul of wickets in the first innings.
Electing to bat first, Karnataka managed to score 400 led by Krishnamurthy Siddharth's 161. But Dubey - a Shivaji Park Lions star in T20 Mumbai - stood tall with figures of a career-best 7/53 in First Class cricket.
Dubey, who scored his maiden hundred in the preceding match, picked up the first four and the final three wickets of the innings, including that of top-scorer Siddharth, with his final spell reading 3/9 in 2.4 overs.
"I am delighted with my performance. I bowled in the right areas and the pitch demanded patience," he told mid-day. "I relentlessly bowled in areas where I could get a wicket. I am happy that it worked well."
In three first-class games, Shivam Dube has two five-wicket hauls (both versus Karnataka), a hundred and a fifty. Mumbai seems to have found a reliable all-rounder #RanjiTrophy #KarvMum
