When we could well have been 200-2, Mumbai are 183 for six.” That’s not the only regret former Mumbai captain Milind Rege had after watching Day One of the Mumbai v Tamil Nadu Elite Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy game at the Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday. 

It was a day on which 16 wickets fell and Rege’s big tick on the pitch has merit considering he figured in several first-class games at the CCI and played a good part of his club cricket career there. “It is a perfectly true wicket,” he stressed. Tamil Nadu were bowled out for 144, to which Mumbai replied not so favourably to end up six down.
