Mumbai’s Tanush Kotian

Right-arm off-spinner Tanush Kotian led a brilliant bowling show with a five-wicket haul as defending champions Mumbai made a remarkable fight back by skittling out Baroda for 185 in the home side's second innings on an eventful third day of their Ranji Trophy Group ‘A' match here on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Kotian (5-61) scalped Baroda's three top-order and two lower-order batters to rock the home side who had taken a 76-run first innings lead on Saturday.
