In four-day games, you don't really get results: Ajinkya Rahane following Mumbai's early Ranji exit
Rahane was speaking after his side's group stage exit from the 2022-23 edition of the prestigious tournament. They needed just a first-innings lead to qualify for quarters, but they tied their first-innings score with Maharashtra on the third day, leaving them with only an option of an outright win. After bowling out Maharashtra midway through the final day, Mumbai needed 253 runs in 28 overs. Knocks from Divyaansh Saxena (62), Suved Parkar (38*) skipper Rahane (35) were promising, but their side, 41-time Ranji champions, finished at 195/6 when the time was up
