Ranji Trophy, 2021-22: Finals

This year's Ranji season was a bit different. It started in March, before the IPL. The group stage was played in 6 different cities. Then there was a break in between for the IPL. For the first time in its history, the knockout stage of the Ranji Trophy was played in June. After the conclusion of the knockout stage, we had 2 finalists. The 41-time champions, Mumbai, and the underdogs, Madhya Pradesh, face off.   



Coming into the match itself, it was a near-perfect performance from Madhya Pradesh to pin down the tournament's most successful team. After conceding 374 in the first innings with the ball thanks to Sarfaraz Khan's ton for Mumbai, the MP batters stepped up when it was their turn with the bat. Yash Dubey and Shubham Sharma put on a show as they stitched a 222-run partnership for the second wicket. It was followed by another good partnership between Rajat Patidar and Aditya Shrivastava. Patidar and captain Shrivastava scored 60 runs for the fourth wicket. Madhya Pradesh managed to score 500 plus runs in the first innings. 3 MP batters scored brilliant respective hundreds. MP managed to take a healthy lead in the first innings. 


After a super job by the batters, the MP bowlers rose to the occasion and stopped Mumbai at 269 in their second innings, setting a target of 108 for themselves. With just 108 to get, Shubham Sharma and Rajat Patidar did the job with the bat again and brought the trophy home for Madhya Pradesh. This is MP's first Ranji Trophy win since the inception of Madhya Pradesh cricket.
