Saurashtra gave everything in their pursuit to clinch a maiden Ranji Trophy title, but they were third time unlucky. Chasing 206 to win, Jaydev Unadkat's men were bowled out for 127 as Vidarbha won the summit clash by 78 runs to successfully defend the title.

"We should have won this match. The target was gettable although there was turn, and the pitch was difficult to bat on. Credit to Aditya Sarwate for the way he bowled," Saurashtra's coach Sitanshu Kotak told mid-day from Nagpur yesterday.
