Mumbai skipper Aditya Tare said the four-day Group C Ranji Trophy match against Baroda, commencing tomorrow at the Wankhede Stadium, was "special" for his team as it's the 500th tie to be played by the 41-time national champions in the tournament's long history. "It is a special game for us. It is a great feeling to be playing the 500th Ranji Trophy game for a terrific side. It is going to be a great game for us," said Tare, who is blessed with a near-full strength team at his command with the return of Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer from their India duties.
