I never knew a domestic game would keep me so interested. Mumbai beat Karnataka by a mere 6 runs to get their 39th Ranji Trophy. Remarkable achievement by Mumbai. Hard luck to Karnataka. But what an innings by young Manish Pandey who scored 144 of only 151 balls to spearhead Karnataka's improbable chase of 338. This guy could well be in the senior side within the next two years. He is a red hot talent, this lad.
Over the years now, other Ranji teams have begun to catch up with Mumbai , known as the breeding ground for special talent and one step away from national selection. In the coming years it will be interesting to see how they fare against the big Daddy of Ranji cricket. Ultimately Mumbai's depth in resolve to counter even the most adverse of situations won them the contest. Congrats to them.
