BCCI domestic shared the video, stating, “Wonderful Support. Lovely Gesture. Smiles. Autographs. Selfies. @ajinkyarahane88, @ShreyasIyer15 & @PrithviShaw made the day special for the kids who came out in full force to support the cricketers at the Wankhede Stadium #RanjiTrophy | #Final | #MUMvVID.”

On the cricketing front, Vidarbha won the toss and chose to field. Mumbai faced a middle-order setback despite a promising start from the opening pair. The innings, however, took a turn for the better thanks to an outstanding performance by Shardul Thakur. Batting at No. 8, Thakur showcased his prowess with a spectacular 75 runs off 69 deliveries, embellished with eight boundaries and three sixes.

Mumbai concluded their first innings at a respectable total of 224 runs. In response, Vidarbha encountered a challenging situation in the last session of Day 1, losing three wickets for a mere 31 runs. Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer had a challenging outing with the bat, contributing only 7 runs each.
