Irani Trophy: Agarkar raises a toast to Mumbai youngsters

Ajit Agarkar, vice captain of the Mumbai side which is here to take on Rest of India in tomorrow's Irani Trophy tie, feels Mumbai owe their Ranji Trophy triumph to their young players.


Talking to MiD DAY after a practice session, the India all-rounder said: "We have been performing well at all levels. Useful contributions from players like Ajinkya Rahane, Abhishek Nayar, Rohit Sharma and Iqbal Abdulla have paved the way for us," said Agarkar who recalled playing as a Mumbai under-19 player at Mansarovar ground in the pink city. "I have played here at the junior level; for India and then the Indian Premier League matches. I know the conditions well. I believe it would be a good contest against Rest of India as they have talented players. It is an opportunity for fringe players and the youngsters as well. Everyone would like to begin the season well," said Agarkar.
