Mumbai coach Ramesh Powar on Monday credited his side’s Vijay Hazare Trophy national ODI championship title to the positive team environment and contribution by the seniors. Domestic giants Mumbai clinched their fourth Vijay Hazare title on Sunday after beating Uttar Pradesh in the final. Mumbai, who were knocked out in the league stage of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy national T20 championship, made a turnaround by winning Vizay Hazare Trophy under new coach Powar, a former India off-spinner.

Positive environment “All [the] 22 players were told what’s their status and role in the team. Structured practice and senior players like Shreyas [Iyer], Suryakumar [Yadav], Shardul [Thakur], Prithvi [Shaw] and Dhawal [Kulkarni] made significant contributions by sharing insights and keeping a positive team environment,” Powar said.
