&ldquo;Like I&rsquo;d said before it&rsquo;s a fitting tribute to one of Saurashtra&rsquo;s favourite sons, Chintu [Pujara&rsquo;s nickname],&rdquo; Unadkat said.&nbsp;
On the latest triumph, Unadkat, who led the team to three premier domestic titles across formats in as many years, said &ldquo;this decade and era belongs&rdquo; to Saurashtra.
Saurashtra defeated Bengal by nine wickets in a replay of the 2020 final to win the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/unadkat-sakariya-rattle-bengal-hand-saurashtra-edge-in-ranji-trophy-final-23270764" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Ranji Trophy</a> for the second time. This was also their second title this season, having stamped their authority in the one-day format by claiming the Vijay Hazare Trophy in December.
