Madhya Pradesh on Sunday humbled domestic powerhouse Mumbai by six wickets in a one-sided Ranji Trophy final under coach Chandrakant Pandit, who exorcised the ghosts of losing one at this very ground 23 summers ago.

On the final day, Mumbai could only manage 269 in their second innings, leaving MP with a paltry target of 108, and they did it in style as Pandit won a record sixth national title as a coach. While chasing, there were some hiccups, but with just over 100 to get, it was a stroll in the park for the MP team. Here are the best reactions from the world of social media-

Lovely pictures @BCCI

What a journey for this legend Chandrakar Pandit..Lost the Ranji Final in 1999 as a captain but won it today as a coach. Life gives you everything but in its own sweet time. Really happy for MP captain Aditya Shrivastav and whole MP team on winning first Ranji Cup ever. pic.twitter.com/19zYlnJZcR

This is for Chandrakant Pandit, he was in tears when Madhya Pradesh lost in the 1999 Ranji Trophy final as a captain and 23 years later, he won the Ranji Trophy title for his state team as a coach. #RanjiTrophyFinal #MadhyaPradesh pic.twitter.com/3AGcxRa1Vg

MP’s win once again proved that the Ranji Trophy is often won by sides which don’t have too many superstars or India prospects with ambition or wherewithal to play top-flight cricket.
