Karsan Ghavri (Ex-all-rounder)
The Mumbai vs Haryana semi-final at Rohtak in the 1979-80 season will be etched in my memory forever. It was a low-scoring game, played on one of the toughest wickets to bat on. It was like a wrestling pit. We managed only 143 in the first innings and bowled out Haryana for just 68.

Paddy Shivalkar got five while I claimed three. In our second innings, spinners Sarkar Talwar and Rajinder Goel bowled us out for 150, but Haryana had to get 226 runs to win.

We cleared them up for 111. Paddy (Shivalkar) claimed four wickets while Ravi (Shastri) and me two each. It was a special victory because we won outright.

Milind Rege (Ex-captain)
The most thrilling Ranji Trophy game I was involved has to be the 1970-71 final against Chandu Borde’s Maharashtra at the Brabourne Stadium.

Our 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Ashok Mankad, Sunil Gavaskar, Ajit Wadekar, Eknath Solkar and Dilip Sardesai) were in the West Indies with the Indian team and we had a young side whose average age was 24-25 under Sudhir Naik. Three to four players made their debut that season.

Maharashtra had to get 254 to win and we bowled them out for 205 (left-arm spinner Paddy Shivalkar claimed six for 56) after tea on the fifth day. That was my most memorable game.
