He missed the entire white-ball season for Mumbai, but a timely recovery from a wrist fracture coincided with wicketkeeper-batter Akash Anand's return in the second round of the Ranji Trophy, where he marked his comeback with a maiden First-Class century on Friday.

Anand's 103 off 151 balls, which included 15 fours, was the third century for Mumbai and the sixth score over fifty as the hosts piled up 671/7 declared against Meghalaya, setting a strong platform for a quarterfinal berth.
