Bengal vs Saurashtra Match Updates, Ranji Trophy Final Highlights: Bengal failed to win the Ranji Trophy yet again. They last won it in 1998-90, defeating a star-studded Delhi team at Eden Gardens. Their first title came in the pre-independence era of 1938-39.
Saurashtra won their second Ranji Trophy title on Sunday at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. Earlier, the old Bengal warhorse duo of skipper Manoj Tiwary (68) and Anustup Majumdar (61) batted valiantly, but the home side was let down by their top-order batters, including the promising Abhimanyu Easwaran, who scored 0 and 16 in the two innings.
