CLOSE-IN: Is BCCI Truly Serious About Domestic Cricket? (IANS Column)
The Ranji Trophy:
The Ranji Trophy has reached the final stage. Mumbai will be vying to win it for the 42nd time, a trophy that at one stage looked to be in their permanent custody . Vidarbha, will be the team that they need to beat, one that has shown that they have the mettle to do so by winning it twice in 2017-18 and in 2018-19. They are a side that have been in the fore-front in recent times, a team that one needs to beat.
This will be the second occasion when two sides from the same State of Maharashtra will be playing for the title. In 1971, Maharashtra, the firm favorites under their astute captain Chandu Borde, lost to a young Mumbai side led by Sudhir Nayak.
