Akshay Wadkar (Vidarbha Captain): It was the last day of the season, our hard work paid off so everyone is happy.
We lost the final last year and started our preparation immediately. Each individual worked hard to develop their skill and fitness. 4 out of top 10 batters are from Vidarbha, Harsh Dubey is the leading wicket taker so everyone performed to get us here.
Yash Rathod and Danish Malewar are 2 such players who can take the game anywhere from any situation. Both have scored runs at crucial stages. They have displayed excellent mental toughness.
It was my dream to win the Ranji Trophy for my side. It fulfilled today. We are ticking all the aspects. We will try to improve in the off season. We will work on individual basis to get better."
