Mumbai Cricket Association's Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) chief Karsan Ghavri blasted the Mumbai Ranji Trophy team for their poor show in the season. The former India all-rounder pointed to the missing pride factor after Vidarbha inflicted an innings and 145-run defeat on the 41-time champions in Nagpur yesterday.

"The pride of playing for Mumbai is missing somewhere. The entire season has been very patchy and the poor performance reflects in all three departments - batsmen are not putting up runs on the board, bowlers are not able to take wickets. Unfortunately, our strike bowlers Dhawal Kulkarni and Shardul Thakur are injured, but despite these drawbacks, Mumbai should have delivered. In earlier years, even our second string team used to become Ranji champions," remarked Ghavri.
