There are only two players in the current Vidarbha squad to have played its solitary Ranji Trophy game at the Wankhede Stadium.
And there is only one cricketer to have played in both of Vidarbha’s previous Ranji encounters against Mumbai ahead of the big final, starting at the Big W from Sunday.
Akshay Wakhare is confident that the ghosts of 2013-14 – when Vidarbha was undone by a well-oiled Mumbai in the first-ever clash between the two teams – will have no bearing on the Ranji final.
