It took a rookie pacer, playing in just his second first-class game, to bring Chhattisgarh back against Mumbai in Raipur on Saturday. Ashish Chouhan’s 6-105 in the Elite Group ‘B’ Ranji encounter, restricted Mumbai to 351 after the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions ended Day One at 310-4.

The morning of Day Two was gloomy for the Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai team as they lost their last six wickets inside 16 overs for a mere 41 runs. Chouhan, 25, who claimed fifer in his debut game against Kerala last week, got good support from fellow pacer Ravi Kiran (3-53).
