Mumbai won its 42nd Ranji Trophy title, beating Vidarbha by 169 runs on the final day of the summit showdown at Wankhede Stadium. The state cricket association (MCA) has decided to double the prize money, paying an additional sum of Rs 5 crore to the winning team. Mumbai ended an eight-year wait to lift a record-extending title, and the move was praised by Mumbai head coach Omkar Salvi, who praised the MCA's move as it helps players who lack full-time jobs and is an inspiration for them to contribute more to the game.
