The Gujarat Ranji team created history by beating defending champions Mumbai in the final of the Ranji Trophy 2016-17 today at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. Asked to chase a stiff 312-run target on the last two days, after early blows on the last day of the match skipper Parthiv Patel came to the crease and scored a fantastic century to ensure a win. Wishes flooded in after Gujarat’s win for Parthiv and a special one among those was from Virender Sehwag.

The former Indian opener in his quirky style said that Parthiv Patel might appear small from the outside but is definitely a destructive unit and called him a pocket size dynamo. Viru wrote – “Nikke se @parthiv9 ne kar diya itna bada kaam. Chota Packet,Bada Dhamaka . #ChotaChetan helps Gujarat win #RanjiTrophy”

Parthiv replied and thanked his former teammate.

Thank you Virupa

Gujarat won the Ranji Trophy title for the very first time having lost the final on one other occasion 67 years ago. They had been one of the most consistent teams in the tournament with Priyank Panchal leading the batting unit and scored 1310 runs in the tournament to end as the leading run-scorer. He was also in touching distance of VVS Laxman’s all-time most runs in a season record.

RP Singh who was a part of the team and played a key role in their title win also tweeted a picture with the trophy. He wrote- “Always a special feeling to be on the winning side. A well deserved victory for the young Gujarat team. #RanjiTrophy @BCCIdomestic”

After long wait finally got our hands on this beautiful trophy. What a knock by the skipper @parthiv9. #RanjiTrophy

Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman also congratulated the Gujarat team and wrote- “Congratulations to @parthiv9 and the Gujarat team on winning the Ranji Trophy ??Inspirational stuff PP? @BCCI”

Team India head coach Anil Kumble also tweeted- “Congratulations Gujarat on winning the Ranji trophy. Well played @parthiv9 and team! @BCCIdomestic”
