Not many would have predicted Mumbai to run away with the title in less
than three days but its bowlers dismissed Saurashtra for 115 to cap off a
dramatic day three.
Mumbai was a mere 27 runs ahead of Saurashtra at the start of day three
before it went on to make 371 in 82.2 overs from an overnight 262 for 8
in its first innings.
Saurashtra, who managed 235 in its first innings, failed miserably with
the bat in the second essay today, lasting 48.2 overs.
Mumbai pacer
Shardul Thakur ran through the opposition batting, ending with five
wickets for 26 runs in 13.2 overs to take his match tally to eight.
Saurashtra's biggest name in the playing eleven, Cheteshwar Pujara,
could not come to his team's rescue and ended with scores of 4 and 27 in
the all-important final.
Shreyas Iyer was deservingly named man of the match for his 117(142 Balls 4x15 and 6x2) in
Mumbai's only innings of the match.
Shreyas Iyer ended the season as the leading
run-getter with 1321 runs at 73.38 including four centuries and seven
fifties
Karnataka is a distant second in the overall Ranji standings with eight titles
