Former Mumbai captain and chief selector Milind Rege has stopped short of predicting a 42nd Ranji Trophy title triumph for Mumbai. 

“I will be very surprised if Mumbai do not win the Ranji Trophy this year. The performance of our players has been tremendous and everybody is contributing. The preparation was fantastic under the coach [Amol Muzumdar]. Everything is going according to plan and they are working very hard,” Rege told mid-day after Mumbai demolished Uttarakhand by a world record 725-run margin in Alur, near Bangalore on Thursday, to enter the semi-finals of the national championships.
