Also, after the victory, a few members from the Madhya Pradesh team took Pandit on their shoulders to show their respect for their coach.

It is emotional because I missed out as captain on the same ground – Chandrakant Pandit

Speaking after the match, Chandrakant Pandit said that he got emotional after the victory because in the 1998-99 Ranji Trophy season he had lost the final as a captain in Bengaluru. He said:

“It is a great memory that I had left 23 years back (he lost the Ranji Trophy final as MP captain in 1998-99) and it is a blessing that I come back here, and winning this trophy was fabulous. It is emotional because I missed out as captain on the same ground.”

Chandrakant Pandit further revealed why he opted to become the coach of Madhya Pradesh. He asserted:

“There is no a particular reason but I look for a challenging job where the teams are not doing well, there also should be youngsters and to develop that particular state. I used to play for MP and played for them for six years, I knew the culture and when the offer came to me in March, I did not hesitate. There were a couple of offers but I chose MP because I had left something 23 years back and God willingly brought me back to the same state.”

Former Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai player Chandrakant Pandit further elaborated:

“Sometimes the talent is there but you need to develop the culture and whatever the game demands I try to inculcate them. Aditya has been an outstanding captain, the plans and strategies we discuss, he was not afraid to implement them on the field. The captain makes the team win 50 percent of the time and he did a fantastic job even though he wasn’t getting runs. I owe this trophy to Madhya Pradesh. I would like to thank all the well-wishers, the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and Madhavrao Scindia.”
