Gujarat's Het Patel scored a crucial knock of 77 (129) in the second innings against Vidarbha in the Ranji Trophy.
It was Vidarbha who resumed Day 4 at the overnight score of 512-8 with Wadkar unbeaten on 104 along with Praful Hinge on 26.
After adding 21 runs to the day Hinge was knocked over for 40 by Arzan Nagwaswalla before the hosts declared 12 runs later with a lead of 202.
Tejas Patel took three wickets for the visitors in this innings supported by Nagwaswalla and Siddharth Desai who each held a couple.
As Gujarat came out to bat for its second innings it did not have the best of starts -- losing openers Priyank Panchal (3) and Aarya Desai (7) for singles digit scores to Aditya Thakare.
At 50 for 3 the pair of Umang Kumar (50) and Jaymeet Patel (21) added 49 for the fourth wicket before the former was dismissed by Harsh Dubey.
At 134 Jaymeet became the fifth wicket to fall with Akshay Wakhare cleaning him up.
The visitors kept losing wickets after every 30-odd-run partnership while Het Patel (77) tried his best to hold the innings together with his side reeling at 171-6.
When the scores were level Gujarat lost its seventh wicket in the form of skipper Chintan Gaja (4) dismissed by Atharva Taide.
However the visitors took the lead before Het departed to Nair at 217 as the eighth wicket followed by Arzan Nagwaswalla (0) off the next ball in the same over.
At this time the two teams decided to shake hands and share the honours as enough time wasn't left for an outright result.
Thakare was the star of the hosts' bowling capturing three wickets while Dubey and Nair managed two wickets each.
Vidarbha stays top of the group table followed by Himachal Pradesh in second and Gujarat in third.
