The batter in fact brought up his hundred with a four down the ground off Kumar Kartikeya. The ton came up off 190 balls with 12 boundaries. Reaching the triple-digit mark saw Mumbai also reach a score of 330/8 in 114 overs.

While many enjoyed the cricketer's century, many found his celebration gesture to be similar to that of late singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

For Madhya Pradesh, left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya took one wicket 1 for 91 while seamer Gaurav Yadav (23-5-68-0) was distinctly unlucky. However, seamer Anubhav Agarwal (19-3-56-2) and tall off-spinner Saransh Jain (17-2-31-2) shared the bulk of the spoils, with some intelligent execution of plans.
