Ajinkya Rahane, who led India to three Test victories against the feisty Australians (final Test at Dharamsala in 2016-17 as well as Melbourne and Brisbane in 2020-21) has a great chance to lead a side to success again in a grand finale as Mumbai take on Vidarbha in the Ranji Trophy final at the Wankhede Stadium from today.
“Now we are in the final. We don’t want to shift focus to the result or outcome. We still have to follow our process. It is just another game. As a captain, my focus personally is to be in the moment.
“We’ll try and play session by session. In four-day, five-day cricket, it’s important to give it your best in each and every session and try to win every session,” Rahane told reporters on the eve of the final on Saturday.
