Mumbai vs Gujarat, Final at Indore, Jan 10 2017 - Match Result
That's it from all of us here. It was a pleasure talking on this game. Thanks for joining us over the past five days and do come back for the coverage of Irani Trophy in a few days time
Parthiv is the man of the match. He is the winning captain too. He says, "It[winning the Ranji trophy] was a dream we collectively saw at the beginning of the season. I was taking my chances and am glad that the chances I took paid off. Manpreet played brilliantly. When we needed momentum, last evening, Priyank played well. RP Singh has worked really well with the boys. The credit should go to the young boys [for consistent performances in Ranji Trophy]. As an experienced player, you have to put your hand in big games and I am glad that I put my hand up"
Aditya Tare, the Mumbai captain, says, "He played a good knock, he rode his luck quite a bit. We have ourselves to blame for the catches dropped behind the wicket. I am proud of the team, the way they played this season. The way we played in the first innings could've been better. We played some silly shots. Shardul and Sandhu bowled their heart out today. Even Abhishek [Nayar]. I think our fielding could've been better"
Chintan Gaja's 6 wickets yesterday were crucial too. He bowled well and was well supported by the fielders. Don't think the Mumbai bowlers could say the same about their fielders. There were so many dropped catches in the second session and had they held on to them, it could still have been a tight affair
Parthiv walked in when the score was 51/2. He started by scoring runs off edges. He played superb strokes too. All this after being under the pump for the past two days for poor over-rates, negative tactics and generally not letting the game move further
Parthiv:" It was fantastic. Winning Ranji Trophy for Gujarat was a dream for all of us. Glad that I could score a century"
Priyank:"Our preparation from the first day was to be champions. Can't express my feelings at the moment"
Manpreet Juneja: "Mumbai players love to sledge. I just gave it back to them in an attempt to shift the momentum away. Glad that I could get the runs"

Edges, brilliant strokes, edge and more brilliant strokes. The people present at the stadium give him a standing ovation. Is this the opening that Mumbai are looking for? Is it too late?
