Mumbai are down and out! After seven games, the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions have yet to clinch an outright win and are languishing in 14th position with only 11 points in the combined Group 'A' and 'B' standings. Mumbai coach Vinayak Samant felt the absence of the fabled 'khadoos' attitude resulted in the team's huge loss to Vidarbha yesterday.

"Winning and losing are part of the game, but the way we lost was very disappointing. At least, we should have made them bat in the second innings. We failed to display our khadoos approach when the batsmen needed to show just that and patience," Samant told mid-day over the phone from Nagpur.
