The 29-run target for victory was achieved with nine wickets and a day to spare. After Gujarat last year, Vidarbha made history at the Holkar Stadium in Indore becoming another first-time winner of the Ranji championship
Delhi somehow managed to avert an innings defeat before being dismissed for 280 in their second innings, after Vidarbha’s first innings ended on 547, a lead of 252. Vidarbha completed the formalities reaching 32/1 in just five overs to burst into celebrations on the pitch.
For Wasim Jaffer, who holds the record of most runs in First Class Cricket in India, it was the ninth time that he has been part of the Ranji Trophy-winning team.
Vidarbha captain Faiz Fazal and his teammates celebrate with the Ranji Trophy after beating Delhi in Indore on Monday.
