Mysore: Opener Akhil Herwadkar missed out on a hundred by four runs as Mumbai reached 244 for five at stumps on Day One of their Ranji Trophy match against Railways here on Saturday.
Herwadkar batted for the better part of the day anchoring the innings with other contributions coming from Shreyas Iyer (70) and Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 60.
Herwadkar hit 15 fours and a six before falling four runs short of a third straight hundred in as many games.
The southpaw had struck 153 and 106 against Madhya Pradesh and Baroda respectively. His good work then was carried forward by Yadav, who played a very patient knock.
Meanwhile, Delhi bowlers frittered away the initial advantage as Ishan Kishan's brilliant unbeaten 162 enabled Jharkhand to reach a comfortable 359 for six at Thumba, Kerala.
