Akshay Wadkar : (Winning as a player and as a captain now) Winning each time has a different feeling, as a player was quite young and in learning process--now in a commanding position, there are many youngsters in the team, there's bit more responsibility on me to give them proper guidance. This is a very young team,there's lot to learn. 400 plus what we were thinking, but this is what happens on these wickets, won't get the what we desired (in terms of total runs scored by Vidarbha in the 1st innings). There just aren't enough runs on the board, especially in a final. and we have to contain within that total. Taide played a good innings, the way he played got a few chances but thereafter he grinded out in the middle and when he wasn't playing well he stood there and grinded it out. This is a best bowling unit in India right now, I have confidence that the bowler will win us the game even if had posted just 200

Rajat Patidar.: I think they went really well, so I think they deserve to win this trophy. In the 1st innings, the better, it's, accessed the condition really well, and the way he batted Yash and Atharva I think that partnership made a huge difference. (Regarding the 1st innings total)Yes, because I think we have that kind of ability, and we have the kind of batsmen to score, around 400,500 runs on this track. But I think today we were not. I think they played a better cricket than us. Yes, but if we have applied ourselves in a good way, after accessing the condition, assessing the wicket, I think we have to be close to the total, I think.

Player of the match - Atharva Taide : Honestly, the feeling hasn't sunk in yet. Last couple of seasons, weren't great for me. Weren't as I expected them to be. But this season, I prepared very well. I wanted to make an impact for my team and starting the season with Irani Cup had been better than this.So all this evening is for VCA. Everybody, my coach, selector, everybody who's back me throughout the season is for them.That's what I've learned from playing first class for this many years that you have to score runs on the day when you're not timing the ball well.You're not in the best of your shape, but because before this, I used to score runs when I was feeling well or when I was timing the ball well.But now I've learned that I have to grind in whenever I'm not timing the ball, just wait for my chance. And I knew once I played the 1st session, game was in my pocket. (Yash Rathod partnership)100%, I feel once he came in, he was timing the ball really well, and that would help me play my game play into my pace, and then he was taking the singles as well. So the pressure was not on me as much. Really good. The game was in the balance. At that time, yes, she was really playing well created to him.But yes, Thakur came in and changed the game for us.

Chasing 361 was always going to be a mountain under these overcast skies. The top order failed to make a mark, but the middle order showed grit, battling for over 40 overs to stitch together 177 runs. In the end, though, it wasn't enough against a relentless Vidarbha attack that kept coming hard at them
