Glory years: A list of Mumbai’s 42 title wins

Mumbai, March 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) Mumbai clinched a record-extending 42nd Ranji Trophy title, beating Vidarbha by 169 runs on the fifth and final day of the final at the Wankhede Stadium here on Thursday. The win ended Mumbai’s quest for the Ranji title as it came after eight years of wait.

It was in season 2016-17 when Mumbai last won the Ranji Trophy title, beating Saurashtra by an inning and 21 runs in Pune.

On Thursday, resuming their innings at 248 for five on Day Five, Vidarbha faced a difficult goal of chasing 538 runs set by the hosts, which put their commitment to the test. Vidarbha skipper Akshay Wadkar led from the front despite the difficulty, scoring a determined century while Harsh Dubey chipped in with a fighting 65.

Throughout the first session, their tenacity kept Mumbai's bowlers at bay, giving them hope for an unlikely win. The Mumbai bowlers' unrelenting aggression, nevertheless, paid off as they bowled Vidarbha out for 368 runs and won the Ranji Trophy.
