In the 2019-20 Ranji season too, he was Mumbai’s highest wicket-taker with 26 wickets.
After his efficiency this weekend, he appears to be like good for a repeat this season.
“I think my rhythm is going good. The first game (vs Bihar) I didn’t bowl that much as the fast bowlers took all the wickets but this game, I knew it is going to be a tough, tough outing for the bowlers where they’ll have to grind it out. For me personally, it is going well,” Mulani said after the third day’s play.
Notably against Andhra, he picked up the big scalps of captain Ricky Bhui in both the innings and their premier batter, Hanuma Vihari, in the first.
He has proved himself against the best at domestic level, but to take the next step in his career, he faces strong competition with Ravindra Jadeja having set the benchmark in Test cricket. The challenge is to keep working and improving. “I feel that I’m in good rhythm and I’ve just, you know, tried to hold my body posture a bit more than last year so that I don’t give away too many bad balls. Other than that, I’ve just tried to keep it very simple.”

The spinner says the sheer quantity of bowling that he does proves he can deal with the grind.
“The amount of bowling I’ve done in the past two years and before that shows I am fit enough to put in those hard yards, keep on bowling for days. Just that I’m trying to work on it more so that if I go on certain levels, then it shouldn’t be a point where in “Oh, that’s missing”. So, I’m attempting to cowl all bases. Keep bowling as a lot as I can, maintain practising, getting higher every day.”
The wickets tally (139 wickets in 29 FC video games) exhibits he’s near realising his dream of enjoying worldwide cricket. Another good season with the ball and if he can again it with good fielding and operating between the wickets, he has a superb likelihood to be the back-up spinner to somebody like Jadeja.
“That’s always been the dream but not thinking about that too much. Just keep performing for my team and helping them as I can. And improving as a bowler each day. That’s what is in my mind right now. I don’t think about selection. It’s a process that’s not in my hand. So, I just focus on my bowling and my game.”
