Vidarbha skipper Akshay Wadkar, who scored a gutsy knock of 102 against Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final last season, felt his fighting knock and season’s performance went unnoticed. Vidarbha’s wicketkeeper-batsman, who was not considered for any of the Duleep Trophy teams, said he will work hard to score more runs this season. “I scored 600-plus [637] runs last season. I scored a hundred against India’s top team Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final at the Wankhede Stadium, but that went unnoticed. And apart from that hundred I had seven half-centuries last season. So I was expecting my name in one of the Duleep Trophy teams.
