Amol Muzumdar, Coach of Mumbai, has called for the use of DRS in Ranji Trophy knockout games. ‘If you want to take domestic cricket to the next level, you have to use it,’ Muzumdar said.
Mumbai coach Amol Muzumdar has requested that the Ranji Trophy use the Decision Review System (DRS) for knockout games. The former batter believes that using the technology will elevate the domestic circuit to a higher level. DRS was last used in the Ranji Trophy semifinals and finals in the 2019-20 season.
Muzumdar explained that DRS would eliminate howlers while also preparing these players to use the technology to its full potential on the international stage. Notably, Muzumdar’s team reached the final of the 2021-22 Ranji Trophy season but lost to Madhya Pradesh in the final on June 26 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
“DRS should be reinstate” (in the Ranji Trophy KOs). “It should be use as a supplement,” Muzumdar told the Times of India. “You must use it if you want to take domestic cricket to the next level.” “There are two clear benefits to using DRS in domestic cricket: one is that it eliminates ‘howlers,’ and the other is that our cricketers will know how to use DRS to the best effect in international cricket,” he added.

On that particular day, we fell short: Amol Muzumdar
In terms of the Ranji Trophy final, he thought Mumbai’s first innings total of 374 was a good score. Sarfaraz Khan pulled the strings for Mumbai, as he has all season, with a crucial ton in the first innings. The third day, however, did not go in their favor because they did not pick up enough wickets, according to the Mumbai coach.
“I thought 374 (Mumbai’s first-inning total) was a good score.” “Sarfaraz Khan deliver another incredible knock,” the 47-year-old said. “However, we had a ‘tough’ third day in which we failed to pick up wickets despite having all of our bases covered in our bowling department.” We were not up to the task on that particular day, when MP began at 123 for 1 and finished at 368 for 3.”
Madhya Pradesh’s first-innings hundreds from Yash Dubey, Shubham Sharma, and Rajat Patidar effectively sealed the deal, as they helped them build a massive 162-run lead. Mumbai could only set a target of 108 with just over a day of play remaining and having to win the match to clinch the trophy. Aditya Shrivastava’s men won the elusive title by chasing it down in 29.5 overs with six wickets in hand.
