Wasim Jaffer has already started to fret with thoughts of facing Mumbai during the upcoming Ranji Trophy season.

After serving Mumbai cricket for nearly two decades, scoring 16,842 runs in 222 first-class matches, Jaffer says he might have to ‘practice’ taking the staircase of the visiting team dressing room when he visits the Wankhede Stadium next with the Vidarbha team as their professional for the upcoming season. “It will be awkward to face Mumbai,” said the highest run-getter (9,759) in Ranji Trophy.
