The team further slipped when they were reduced to 133 runs for 5 wickets. However, Vijay Hazare then found an ally in Dattu Phadkar and the duo displayed tremendous grit and character as they dug in put together a partnership of 188 runs.

However even after this valiant effort, the visitors could not avoid an innings defeat, but the records book will always remember the fight shown by the duo.
