History was rewritten at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore as Gujarat went on to win their first ever Ranji Trophy title with an enthralling win over defending champions Mumbai. Chasing a huge 312-run target in the last innings skipper Parthiv Patel’s clinical knock helped the team get over the line quite comfortably.
Earlier in the morning at 89/3, when Samit Gohel walked back to the pavilion owing to a controversial decision, Gujarat were in trouble. It seemed the Khadus Army Mumbai could well pull it off if they got a couple of wickets more from that position. A turnaround seemed possible at that stage.
However, captain Parthiv had some other plans. Leading from the front, he slammed a brilliant 143 runs to set the platform for a Gujarat victory. Whacking 24 boundaries, Parthiv played a match winning innings at the stage where it mattered the most.
Manpreet Juneja who also scored a half century, combined an 116-run partnership with Parthiv for the fourth wicket to rescue Gujarat out of the woods. Later Rujul Bhatt scored 27 not out along with Chirag Gandhi’s 11 (7)* to guide Gujarat to their first ever Ranji Trophy win.
It was a terrific game of cricket with both sides fighting it out till the final session of Day 5. And it surely took a brilliant performance by Gujarat side to outclass the 41 time Ranji champions. Parthiv Patel was undoubtedly rewarded the man of the match for playing a sublime knock under pressure.
Twitter enjoyed a wonderful test match on a Saturday evening ending with Gujarat winning their maiden title. There was some adulation of Manpreet Juneja but the man who stole the thunder was none other than Parthiv Patel. Ending the title drought, Parthiv gained lots of accolades from everyone.
Here are some of the amazing twitter reactions that took place during the course of the game:

No one had beaten Mumbai in Ranji Trophy final since 1990-91. Never trust a grown up to do a kids job. #Parthiv pic.twitter.com/pUeTsZp7f7

Thakur is sharp. He is one of those bowlers who is a tad quicker than what the batsman thinks.

Bombay/Mumbai lost their first #RanjiTrophyFinal at Indore.
Gujarat lost their only #RanjiTrophy final at Indore.#MUMvGUJ #GUJvMUM— Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42) January 14, 2017
Taking a break with 20 odd runs left to play for. That doesn't makes much sense. #RanjiTrophy

So it's just a matter of time now
Gujrat making their history
Certainly Parthiv Patel playing his captain innings there #RANJITROPHYFINAL— Chetan Joshi (@joshichetan08) January 14, 2017
Why would you take tea with 27 runs to go? Breaks the momentum. One of the frustrating things about cricket. #RANJITROPHYFINAL

This was never a go-for-a-win final day for Gujarat.
But Mumbai fielders have made that happen !
Thank you #RanjiTrophy #cricket

100 for Parthiv, bit scratchy but crucial nonetheless. No extravagant celebrations. Gets on with job. Knocking on selection door once again.

50 for Juneja, solid knock. Weathered early storm, counterattacked & he along with Parthiv has put Gujarat in driver's seat. #RanjiTrophy
— jigar mehta (@jigsactin) January 14, 2017
There was no nick and Gohil has to depart. Consult the third ump maybe if you are not sure? #RanjiTrophy #RANJITROPHYFINAL

Watching #RANJITROPHYFINAL – amazed to see they successfully managed to clone Balwinder Singh Sandhu!
