By Paritosh Pramanik THE two wins might have been satisfying but Vidarbha captain Akshay Wadkar believes the team now needs outright victories with bonus points in coming games. Vidarbha will take on Goa in their third Elite Group‘A’ Ranji Trophy match at VCA’s Jamtha Stadium from Monday. Wadkar was happy with their last win over defending champions JammuandKashmir at Srinagar wherethe pitch wasn’t batter friendly.“Srinagarwasn’t abatting friendly wicket (pitch). Both the teams lost wickets.Butawinisawin andwehave 12 points from two games now,”said Wadkar while talking with ‘The Hitavada’ on the eve of their match. “Even though we are at the third place in points table but the positive thing is that we have beaten last year’s champions and that gives us confidence, going into the next matches,” added the skipper. The wicket keeper-batter said that the team’s morale is high after Srinagar win and they would nowtry for bonus points from the next two games beforegoing into redball break.

 

“Our morale is high and we will now try to go for bonus point if we get a chance. “Next two games are very crucial. We are in full momentum, we want to win both the matches outright. We won’t go fordraws, especially against MP. Since the last four years we have not gone for adraw in any game.We have started playing an aggressive brand of cricket and we will continue. We have that kind of team. We have the best batters and best bowlers in the country. Four-five India A players, India players...why should we play defensive?,” Wadkar stated. Wadkar said the pitch looks hardand would assist seamers in the first session. “It looks like a friendly batting wicket. Two days it would help seamers in the morning session and then Ithink it would be easy for batters. From Day Three, spinners would get help from the strip,” felt Vidarbha captain.
