Came in place of Ajinkya Rahane

Had Ajinkya Rahane not injured his hamstring last month during the IPL 2022, Suved Parkar may have been serving drinks. However, Rahane's injury saw Parkar being drafted into the Mumbai squad for the first time for the knockouts and he was handed debut at No. 4.

Only second Mumbaikar to achieve the feat

Suved became only the second Mumbai batsman to score a double century on his first class debut after Amol Majumdar, who scored 260 runs on his first class debut against Haryana in 1993-94 season. Interestingly, Majumdar is currently serving as the coach of the Mumbai team and he led the huge applause for the Parkar from the dressing room after he crossed double ton mark.
