<p>While a number of players starred for Madya Pradesh throughout the tournament, it is head coach Chandrakant Pandit who deserves a lot of credit for the team's memorable triumph. Pandit, one of the most successful coaches in the Indian domestic circuit, certainly knows how to win the Ranji Trophy as he has now won as six Ranji titles as head coach.</p>

<p>The former India player guided Mumbai to three titles, Vidarbha to two titles and Madhya Pradesh to their only Ranji Trophy title in what has been an illustrious career as a coach.

<p>Interestingly, Pandit as captain of the Madhya Pradesh side during his playing days had come close to delivering the team's first Ranji Trophy title in the 1998-99 season. However, he missed out on becoming the first captain to win the trophy for Madhya Pradesh after losing in the final at the same Chinnaswamy Stadium back then.</p>

<p>However, on Sunday, Madhya Pradesh won the title after beating Mumbai to script a fairytale redemption for their head coach. Pandit said winning the title at the same ground after 23 years felt like a dream. "It is a great memory that I had left 23 years back (he lost the Ranji Trophy final as MP captain in 1998-99) and it is a blessing that I come back here, and winning this trophy was fabulous. It is emotional because I missed out as captain on the same ground," said the MP head coach.</p>
