Coming back from difficult situations to grab the initiative is nothing new for Mumbai. On Monday, after scripting a remarkable turnaround at the Eden Gardens, Shardul Thakur was around to point out that the fight is now in the DNA of the 42-time Ranji Trophy champions.

“It is a part of the culture. Hopefully, it will continue for years,” he said after finishing with figures of 18.3-3-58-6 and giving Mumbai the lead.
