Mumbai managed to win their 37th Ranji Trophy title in unbelievable circumstances ... Check this whole scenario - they had zero points from their first three matches and a second inning score of 0-5 in the semi-finals!!! In this circumstances how many people would have bet on them to win Ranji Trophy?

All kudos to Coach, Pravin Amre, and Captain, Amol Mujumdar, for keeping faith on the team and keep working hard towards their goal of winning the title.

Amol Muzumdar say - "This has been a tremendous season and a complete team effort. We always believed in ourselves and that's why we're here. Full credit to Bengal and for making it the most memorable finals. We always believed we had enough runs. It's a tremendous effort by Sachin Tendulkar. There is no substitute to his commitment. The crowd has also been tremendous."

Mumbai 320 (Sachin Tendulkar 105, Wasim Jaffer 112 and Ranadeb Bose 79/4) & 294 (Rohit Sharma 57, Wasim Jaffer 53 and Ranadeb Bose 71/4)

Bengal 143 (Manoj Tiwary 43 and Zaheer Khan 40/5) & 339 (Manoj Tiwary 94, Sourav Ganguly 90, Deep Dasgupta 57 and Zaheer Khan 119/4)

Mumbai won by 132 runs
