NAGPUR: Vidarbha's most successful coach Usman Ghani is known for churning out big results. He has been doing so since 2013-14 when he first won the under-14 Rajsingh Dungarpur Trophy for Vidarbha. From there, he just mastered the art of coming out successful in high-pressure finals. In the last six years, he has been the under-19 coach and Vidarbha have played five finals and won 3 of them including Sunday's triumph over Punjab in Vinoo Mankad Trophy.
What helped Vidarbha win the title was Ghani's rich experience, his gelling with trainer Harshal Baniya, whom Ghani has seen grow at Ruby Club, and the experience of 10+ players in the squad who have been a part of the team from the last couple of seasons.
