Felt I had to give something back to MP: Chandrakant Pandit

Madhya Pradesh created history on Sunday as they enrolled their very first Ranji Trophy title win. The Aditya Shrivastava-drove side prevailed over domestic powerhouses Mumbai in the culmination clasg by six wickets.

Chandrakant Pandit had some incomplete business at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Back to the 1998-99 season, driving Madhya Pradesh, he watched his team squander a winning opportunity in the Ranji Trophy final against have Karnataka.

Slice to the present, as coach of Madhya Pradesh, he set things straight as his boys came out on top for their maiden Ranji championship while duping Mumbai in the most recent final that finished up at a same venue here on Sunday. Strangely Bharadwaj was available at the ground while Pandit graphed a new way.

“It is a great memory that I had left 23 years back 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. There is no a particular reason but I look for a challenging job where the teams are not doing well, there also should be youngsters and to develop that particular state,” said Chandrakant Pandit.

“I used to play for MP and played for them for six years, I knew the culture and when the offer came to me in March, I did not hesitate. There were a couple of offers but I chose MP because I had left something 23 years back and God willingly brought me back to the same state. Sometimes the talent is there but you need to develop the culture and whatever the game demands I try to inculcate them,” he said.

“Aditya has been an outstanding captain, the plans and strategies we discuss, he was not afraid to implement them on the field. The captain makes the team win 50 percent of the time and he did a fantastic job even though he wasn’t getting runs. I owe this trophy to Madhya Pradesh. I would like to thank all the well wishers, the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and Madhavrao Scindia,” he added.
