Six-time Ranji Trophy-winning coach Chandrakant Pandit, who on Sunday guided Madhya Pradesh to their maiden Ranji Trophy title (beating 41-time champions Mumbai by six wickets in Bangalore) had no hesitation in saying that his latest triumph is a special one.

Pandit, 60, the former India wicketkeeper-batsman, helped Mumbai win in 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2015-16 before masterminding Vidarbha’s 2017-18 and 2018-19 victories.
