Mumbai, March 12 (press ki taquat bureau): Musheer Khan’s exceptional 136 propelled Mumbai towards victory in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha, with Iyer and Rahane also contributing significantly.
Mumbai set an imposing 538-run target for Vidarbha, who were without their key bowler Sarwate, putting Mumbai in a strong position to claim their 42nd trophy.
Mumbai’s strategy focused on extending their lead on the third day, with Vidarbha needing 528 runs to win in the remaining two days of the game.
Despite their advantage, Mumbai’s batters were cautious, realizing the game could change quickly, leading them to focus on building a substantial lead.
Rahane’s dismissal by Dubey for 73 marked a key moment in the match, as Mumbai aimed to bat for extended periods and distance themselves from Vidarbha.
