Mumbai all-rounder Tanush Kotian not only claimed 29 wickets and scored 502 runs in the Ranji Trophy season. He also captured the most important wicket—Vidarbha captain Akshay Wadkar (102)—to help the hosts win their 42nd Ranji title.
Kotian’s 3-7 in the first innings and 4-95 in the second essay earned him the Player of the tournament award. “Last season, we failed to qualify for the knockouts by just one point. And I think it was because I failed to get that one run against Maharashtra in the last league game despite playing well in that innings,” he said.
