Previous record holder Kaypee delighted for Muzumdar

It's an amazing coincidence that the man whose record Amol Muzumdar broke to become the highest run-getter in Ranji Trophy was his opponent in debut game.

Muzumdar made his Ranji debut in 1993 against an Amarjt Kaypee-led Haryana at Faridabad where he made an unbeaten 260 in the pre-quarter-final clash. "It was a brilliant debut. Amol's footwork was very impressive, especially against the spinners. He was stepping out beautifully against the slow bowlers, perfectly carrying out what we call 1-2-3 in batting parlance. He showed good temperament and technique. It looked like he would play for India," recalled Kaypee, who played 109 Ranji games and aggregated 7623 runs at an average of 54.06, scoring 27 centuries and 33 half centuries.
