Kaif leads Uttar Pradesh to maiden Ranji Trophy title

Mohammad Kaif lead Uttar Pradesh to their first-ever Ranji Trophy final victory when the hosts beat Bengal on the basis of their first-innings lead

'This win will take us a long way'

Mohammad Kaif was the decisive factor in Uttar Pradesh's surge to - and eventual clinching of - their maiden Ranji Trophy Final title

Uttar Pradesh take the honours on engrossing day

On a day when everything hinged on who would take the first-innings lead, Uttar Pradesh held their nerve to dismiss Bengal 14 runs short of their target and build a platform from which they look hard-pressed to lose

'Couple of decisions went against us' - Dasgupta

Paras Mhambrey came charging up towards the room where the analyst was recording the ball-by-ball of the Bengal innings.

Shukla fifty leaves match tantalisingly poised

Dubious umpiring and some unintelligent bowling by the hosts left both Uttar Pradesh and Bengal hanging desperately on the edge with two more days to go in the Ranji Trophy final
