Fast bowler Tushar Deshpande claimed a first-innings hat-trick as part of a stellar bowling display, guiding Mumbai to a comprehensive victory by an innings and 155 runs over Chandigarh within three days at Wankhede Stadium, picking up a vital bonus point in their Elite Group D Ranji Trophy campaign.

After bowling Chandigarh out for a mere 78 runs on the second day, Mumbai enforced the follow-on, holding a 351-run lead. Although Chandigarh managed to avoid an immediate collapse on the second evening, they were eventually dismissed for 196 in 52.1 overs during their second knock, with spinners Shams Mulani (3/69) and Tanush Kotian (3/30) combining to share six wickets.
