Mumbai will today take on Bengal in the Ranji Trophy super league final starting
here at the Wankhede Stadium,
Mumbai are favourites to regain the national championship, with the inclusion
of several seasoned players- Sachin Tendulkar, Ajit Agarkar, Ramesh Powar
and Zaheer Khan coming in after the semi-final against Baroda.
For the record, Mumbai and Bengal have played five Ranji Trophy
finals with the former emerging triumphant on each occasion.
Determined to make amends for last years disappointment in
the final, Bengal have a much more balanced look to their side with the induction
of former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
"This is a different game, this is a final. It is a different
situation, circumstances are different and the players are different. We all
are looking forward to it, hopefully it will be a good final," Muzumdar
said after the practice session.
"According to me, the best eleven from Mumbai should play.
This is not the first time it has happened, it has been a Mumbai tradition.
It is absolutely a great honour for me to captain Sachin," he added.
