Earlier, Services captain Mohit Ahlawat scored 61 to help his side to 204. S S Bachhav and P C Dadhe bagged three wickets each for Maharashtra.

Right-hand batter Gaikwad, who captains Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, has represented India in T20I and ODI cricket. However, he has not been part of the national set up since July this year when he was not required to bat in a comfortable 10-wicket T20I win over Zimbabwe.
