Ajinkya Rahane cites the importance of freedom and confidence for players after Mumbai created history
Veteran India batter Ajinkya Rahane emphasized the importance of giving players ‘freedom’ and ‘confidence’ as Mumbai were awarded Rs 1-crore by the Mumbai Cricket Association for their historic Irani Cup triumph.
Rahane-led Mumbai ended a 27-year wait to win the tournament last week in Lucknow, defeating Rest of India on basis of the first-innings lead.
Besides the BCCI’s prize money of Rs 50 lakh, the MCA on Monday announced an additional Rs 1 crore during a felicitation ceremony. The announcement was made by MCA secretary Abhay Hadap.
India and Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan, who was the player-of-the-match for his unbeaten 222, said he had promised his younger brother Musheer to make a hundred on his behalf.
Musheer had met with a road accident before the game when he was trailing from his hometown Azamgarh to Lucknow. He was present in the felicitation ceremony wearing a neck support.
