There is tremendous amount of enthusiasm all over in West Bengal with their team qualifying for the Ranji Trophy final. No. 4 Anustup Majumdar scored 200 in both innings as Bengal crushed Madhya Pradesh by 306 runs in the semi-final to set up the big-ticket clash with Saurashtra starting tomorrow.

Medium pacer Akash Deep and left-arm spinner Pradipta Pramanik also starred with fifers in the first and second innings respectively. Bengal haven’t lifted the coveted trophy since 1989-90. Even in these 33 years, they have reached the final four times but have fallen short on all occasions. The 1938-39 season was the first time they became domestic champions.
