Madhya Pradesh won their maiden Ranji Trophy title with a dominant six-wicket victory over Mumbai in the final on Sunday, June 26. The win was not just historic, but a special one especially for coach Chandrakant Pandit, who had earlier lost the Ranji Trophy final for MP at the same venue during his time as a player in the 1998/99 season. Now, his team has done the unthinkable by upstaging Mumbai, one of the best sides in Indian domestic cricket.
Take a look at some reactions:
