<p>Patil, who was following each day of the five-day final on his European holiday, told mid-day as he savoured the sight of the Leaning Tower of Pisa: &ldquo;It was a hard-fought final which ultimately went Mumbai&rsquo;s way, which I expected. All credit to Vidarbha for keeping the game open till the second session of the final day. It reflected their never-say-die approach. Obviously, coming back from their disappointing total [224] in the first innings to bowl out Vidarbha for just over 100 was critical for Mumbai. And then of course, the batting of centurion Musheer Khan, Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer brought Mumbai closer to the trophy,&rdquo; said Patil.</p><p>
