and Joshi does it in some style. Legbreak to finish it off. Pitches leg, fools him, hits top of off. Joshi takes five, and he is telling them he can do anything. A legbreak to finish it off

10.56pm - Meanwhile, in Delhi, an early lunch has been taken, and the next inspection is at 11.30am
First final in 75 years. Jubilation all around. The patriarch Niranjan Shah is also there. Son Jaydev Shah takes a stump out. But it is beyond the Shahs and Jadeja and Pujara. This has been a team effort. Joshi, Jackson, Jogiyani, Makvana and the likes. And who can forget Kotak? You have to feel good for that man. He is finally getting to play a final. Saurashtra have fielded well, their bowlers have contributed with the bat, their batsmen have been superb in the field, they have planned well, they have been led well, and they have thoroughly deserved their entry into the final. This is the region's first final since 1937-38; they used to be called Nawanagar back then. They are in a huddle now. What joy on their faces. And then they pose for a photo. Niranjan is also there, and don't forget Debu Mitra, their coach. This is a small region with a small talent pool, but he has helped them make the most of whatever is available. Joshi gets continuous pats on the back from Harbhajan Singh. Joshi is the Man of the Match. This is where we leave you, but watch the website for updates from Delhi where Saurashtra's opponents will be decided

"@sid which player do u think from Punjab team can play for India. I think Sidharth can some day. Mandeep also good but has not scored run this season. JJ needs to improve front foot play."
Jagbir, yes Sid Kaul has been impressive. Watching Jiwanjot live, I must confess, has been a bit of a disappointment

Sagar: "How contrasting both the semis are turning out to be...one outright win and one not even completed the 1st innings...to b the 1st of the season to go into 6th day and most likely to b decided by toss of a coin...."
