Ranji Final: Karun Nair’s Bravery Dimmed by Khan’s Mumbai Domination

At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, during the fourth day of the Ranji Trophy final test cricket match between Mumbai and Vidarbha, Mumbai’s Musheer Khan celebrates taking out Aman Mokhade of Vidarbha.

The umpire was unmoved by Musheer Khan’s loud, desperation plea, but it did wake up two young men who were napping close to the Sachin Tendulkar monument in the top row of the Vijay Merchant Pavilion.

The stand was a perfect place for a midday nap because of the soft sea wind and soft sun. There was stillness even from the band that had been brought in to celebrate Mumbai’s 42nd Ranji Trophy victory at the MCA Pavilion. Additionally, there was no chance of missing any activity. Because there wasn’t much. It seemed that way, at least.

With 433 runs at an average of above 100, Mumbai is now more likely than ever to break their drought of Ranji titles.
