MUMBAI: The last stretch is often the most tricky and treacherous climbing a challenging mountain. Vidarbha learnt this the hard way in this season of Ranji Trophy. The five-year-long wait to lift the trophy ended in a heartbreak at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Though the trophy wasn't won, it was a season to be proud of. After a 238-run defeat to Saurashtra at home, the roads to knockouts looked bumpy. Vidarbha, though, posted three wins and a draw over the next four games. The knockout phase saw the team performing like living a dream. The quarterfinal was all about dominant performance. The last four clash, a classic, was a come-from-behind the win.
