Mumbai won their 38th Ranji Trophy title by beating Uttar Pradesh by 243 runs in the final here in Hyderabad on Friday. Riding on a first innings lead of 157 Mumbai gave UP an Improbable target of 525 to chase after scoring 367 in their second essay.

Chasing an almost impossible target of 525 ,UP innings started the most unwanted way when they lost both their openers cheaply and then lost Suresh Raina after a short time. Then Mohammed Kaif and Bhuvamesh Kumar steadied the ship for some time but when Kaif got out UP lost their way and lost the wickets of Kaif, Piyush Chawla and Praveen Kumar in a Hurry.After the loss of Praveen Kumar it just became a mere formality before Mumbai became Ranji Champions for the 38th time.
After that UP wicketkeeper Amir Khan and Praveen Gupta tried to make a late fightback with a partnership of 55 with Praveen Gupta and Amir Khan scoring 25 and 43 respectively. But UP bundled out for 281 handling Mumbai their 38th title
