Young opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Siddhesh Lad laid the foundation with a solid start. Raghuvanshi, known for his strokeplay, smashed a resolute 92, featuring 13 boundaries and 3 sixes. Lad, on the other hand, showed composure with a watchful unbeaten 116.
After 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre fell leg-before to Suryakant Pradhan for 18, Raghuvanshi and Lad put their heads down to construct a 135-run partnership for the second wicket. This partnership was key in setting the tone for the innings.
However, part-time medium-pacer Biplab Samantaray provided Odisha with a brief moment of joy, taking two wickets in as many deliveries in the 40th over. He first dismissed Raghuvanshi and then trapped former India captain Ajinkya Rahane leg-before for a golden duck, leaving Mumbai at 154/3.
Enter Shreyas Iyer, the former India player, who walked in to continue the assault. Iyer, known for his aggressive batting, wasted no time in attacking the Odisha bowlers. He scored his runs at a brisk pace, scattering the field with boundaries to all parts of the ground. His unbeaten 152 came off just 164 balls, including 18 fours and 4 sixes.
Odisha skipper Poddar used seven bowlers in an attempt to break the formidable fourth-wicket partnership between Iyer and Lad, but to no avail. Iyer and Lad added a massive 231 runs at an impressive 4.6 runs per over, putting Mumbai firmly in the driver's seat.
Brief ScoresMumbai 1st innings 385/3 in 90 overs (Shreyas Iyer batting 152, Siddhesh Lad batting 116, Angkrish Raghuvanshi 92; Biplab Samantaray 2/36).
