Mumbai and Gujarat, two teams from the West Zone will battle it out for Ranji Trophy glory at the Holkar Stadium here today. While Mumbai is playing its 46th final, it will be a stern test for Gujarat, who are in their first final in 66 years. After yesterday's net session, coach Chandrakant Pandit sat down individually with each player from his team. "I spoke with all of them individually to understand their mindset. I tried to get them into a positive frame of mind before this important match. My ultimate aim is to increase their confidence level and tell them what we expect from them," Pandit said.
