Tale of two finalist teams.

The teams did all the right things to reach the finals of this prestigious trophy in a historic event year.

Best thing about this game none of the top 15 highest scorer are from this teams.Karun Nair at no.16 on the list.

Similarly only one bowler ranks in the top 10 list of highest wicket takers.(Aditya Sarvate -40)

This shows how balanced both the teams have players of winning qualities.

Both teams first inning score where 170 & 146.

Vidharbha got Madhya Pradesh team for 252 in their first inning with MP leading by 82 runs.

Tamil Nadu had Mumbai in their grip with Mumbai railing at 106 for 7.
Then comes lord Thakur to take the game away from TN with his blistering stroke play 109 of 104 balls with 12 boundaries and 4 maximum.
TN skipper has a dream spell before lord arrived at the crease.
The last 3 partnership for team Mumbai 8 th wicket 88, 9 th wicket 79 and last wicket 105 between Tanush and Tushar sealed the game for Mumbai.

There was no looking back as Mumbai came back and bundled TN team for 162 runs and win the game by 70 runs and an inning.

The other Semi final had all the traits of an interesting test match to finish on the 5 th last day of the game.

When Vidharbha batted in their second inning Yash Rathod the BCCI award winner for highest run getter in both the age group u19 when they won the Cooch Behar trophy and then U23 Col CK Nayudu highest run getter last year.
Ruled the civil line boundaries with Brillaint stroke play to score his maiden Ranji century 141 runs with 18 boundaries and 2 sixes.
He was the last batsmen to get out trying to score some quick runs for his team.

Madhya Pradesh looking to chase 321 had a brilliant partnership after losing the first inning centurion to a stupendous catch by Aditya Thakare off Aditya Sarvate.
Their second wicket partnership of 106 runs between Yash and Harsh gave a lot of hope to the team. But Yash Thakur had some other plans.
Getting Gawli out on crucial juncture of the game opened the flood gates of MP wickets which were shared by Sarvate and Wakhare.
The match was poised well for the last day with vidharbha needing 4 wickets and MP needing 93 runs to win.
Aditya thakare took first 2 wickets to draw the first blood on day 5 and then Yash Thakur finished the game by hitting the timber consistently.
Vidharbha won the game by 62 runs.

Shardul Thakur was the POTM for Mumbai and Yash Rathod for Vidharbha.

Mumbai will be trying to make their 42nd title and Vidharbha may increase the count from 2.

Whatever maybe the outcome of the final Ranji match.(Winners) it will have 5 interesting days of cricket.

Requesting all cricket lovers to go and witness such beautiful event.
Happening in mumbai with too many interesting players to watch and learn.
Mumbai will have Ajinkya Rahane leading the team into the finals battle.
Akshay Wadkar also a gritty skipper of vidharbha will call his team for the last battle of the season.

Tanush Kotian for Mumbai have been doing a great job with bat and ball.
Aditya Sarvate is doing the similar role for vidharbha.
Mumbai has a trio speedster attack with Mohit Avasthi,Tushar Despandey and Shardul Thakur.
Vidharbha Trio has Umesh Yadav, Aditya thakare and Yash Thakur.

Vidharbha batting line up has Dhruv Shorey (549)and Karun Nair (616)the 2 nd Indian to score a triple hundred in test match after Virendra Sehwag.

Would be interesting to watch them live at wankhede.

Go to a live game like this and feel the vibration. Hopefully BCCI and both association will try to promote more cricket lovers to come and watch it at wankhede.

May the Best team win 🏆 🥇
