Mumbai obviously has history of not faltering on the big stage in Ranji Trophy. Uttar Pradesh, on the other hand, is riding on youth power and its head coach Vijay Dahiya asserted that legacy will not matter during their semifinal encounter from Tuesday.
“With so many people getting exposure in IPL and other cricket, it all comes down to 11 versus 11 rather than anything else. Unfortunately, you don’t have too many senior players in the dressing room to tell you about the legacy but even if they are there, you need time to build that trust and tell them about the legacy,” Dahiya said on Monday.
“And the other thing is if you try and tell them, they just look at you and wonder what age he is talking about. You just have to try and make them realise it’s 11 versus 11.”
