Maharashtra’s spin duo Hitesh Walunj and Vicky Ostwal put on a clinic in the Buchi Babu Trophy opener, sharing six wickets to dismantle Chhattisgarh’s top and middle order.
Their tight spells kept the opposition under control through the day, and both bowled with precision and turn on a pitch offering grip. Ostwal’s left-arm spin paired beautifully with Walunj’s control as they made the most of helpful conditions.
Despite a late fightback from Chhattisgarh’s tail, Maharashtra walked away as clear winners of Day 1.
