Soon after returning from Ahmedabad in March, having played a sterling role in Mumbai qualifying for the Ranji Trophy knockouts after four years, Shams Mulani told his mother Shirin he would return to Ahmedabad and “win the only age-group championship I am yet to win”.
He was referring to the Col. C.K. Nayudu (Under-25) Trophy. And, on April 24, while many of his Ranji teammates were dazzling in the Indian Premier League, Mulani walked the talk, again in Ahmedabad.
“I just had to do it, this was my last chance to help the team win the CK Nayudu Trophy,” he said.
