Navi Mumbai, Feb 24 (NationPress) In a thrilling match at the DY Patil T20 Cup, Mumbai wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore showcased his talent with a remarkable innings of 85 runs.

Despite Tamore's explosive inning of 85 off 47 balls, which included 10 fours and 3 sixes, Route Mobile could not secure victory.
