The Mumbai Cricket Association announced a bonus prize money worth INR 5 Crore for the champions

Akshay Wadkar (102) and Harsh Dubey (65) kept Mumbai's victory march at bay with a fine rearguard

Karun Nair and Akshay Wadkar were involved in a 90-run stand but the former was dismissed late on Day 4, leaving Vidarbha 248/5 in a chase of 538

In chase of 538, Vidarbha were down to 248 for 5 at stumps on Day 4

The middle-order bat stroked a counterattacking 95 and stitched a 158-run stand for the fourth wicket with centurion Musheer Khan

Mumbai finished with 418 in their second innings, leaving Vidarbha needing an unlikely 538 to win the Ranji Trophy

With his brother Sarfaraz unable to play the Ranji Trophy final due to national commitments, Musheer ensured that the absence wasn't felt as much

Mumbai bowled out Vidarbha for 105 and ended the Day 2 of the Ranji final with a lead of 260, with eight wickets still remaining

While the middle-order bat fell to a short delivery yet again, the all-rounder smashed a counter-attacking 75 and then bagged an early wicket to help Mumbai fight back on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 final

After sliding to 111/6, Mumbai finished with 224 before reducing Vidarbha to 31/3 at stumps on Day 1 of the Ranji Trophy final at the Wankhede stadium
