Tanush Kotian takes first 10-wicket haul as Mumbai beat Haryana
Mumbai off-spinner Tanush Kotian took 11 wickets in a Ranji Trophy match against Haryana, including eight in the second innings.
The 10-wicket match haul was the first of his domestic career and his best performance.

He was last included in India’s Test squad in December 2024, after Ravichandran Ashwin retired during a series in Australia.
The performance gives Kotian a chance to draw selectors’ attention as India looks for spin options for future home Tests.
Kotian says he will focus on his own performances, while selectors decide who makes the team.
