Jaidev Unadkat (4/41) and Piyush Chawla (3/70) shared the spoils as Rest of India piled on the agony of Mumbai by taking a huge 394 first innings lead on the third day of the Irani Cup cricket match at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium here today.
In reply to RoI’s mammoth total of 668, Mumbai were bundled out for 274 with Unadkat and Chawla tormenting sharing the spoils.
Instead of forcing the follow on, Rest of India preferred to bat again and were 45 for 1 at the stumps to extend their lead to 439 runs with nine wickets still intact.
Captain Yuvraj Singh was unbeaten on 10 while the century maker of first innings Abhinav Mukund on 19 at the draw of stumps.
Earlier, resuming at 26 without loss, Mumbai gave a spineless batting display.
Barring skipper Wasim Jaffer (71) and the ninth wicket partnership 70 runs between Iqbal Abdulla (33) and Dhawal Kulkarni (32) there was nothing to mention in the Mumbai batting who struggled to the disciplined bowling of Unadkat, Chawla and R Ashwin.
The slow pace of the wicket also compelled the likes of Abhishek Nayar (1) to commit the same mistake while Rohit Sharma (15), who played some good shots, was deceived by a fine spinning delivery by Piyush Chawla which squared him up.

Jaffer made 71 runs after facing 171 balls and hit nine boundaries.
Khanvilkar (21), R Powar (10), Ajit Agarkar (23) and lower down the order Abdulla (33) and Kulkarni (32) tried but it was not enough as Mumbai innings came to an end at 274, conceding a huge 394-run lead.
