it is very difficult to imagine if pujara & jadeja were included in saurashtra what might be the outcome..but BCCI is guilty in denying their presence for no good reason..at least they could have released Pujara who was not selected for the last ODI and who was in good form. He was an inspiration for other members. Anyway Mumbai showed why they are called champions again and again..give them the credit THEY ARE the BEST Ranji trophy team in India.

Jadeja was in playing eleven so he could not be relieved. Keeping back Pujara was a mistake. He is a genuine test player and has np place in one day.

To simply assume that Pujara and Jadeja would have changed Saurashtra's fortunes is ridiculous. Given the margin of Mumbai's victory, it would be insane to conclude that 1 or 2 batsmen would have made a big diffence. Besides this, if Saurashtra missed Pujara and Jadeja, Mumbai were deprived of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane.
Also don't forget that Pujara's 200s this season came at Rajkot, which is recognized as one of the flattest wickets in India. He score them against weak bowling attacks of MP & Karnataka.
Saurashtra did a great job reaching the finals but lost to a superior opponent. Lets be sporting and acknowledge this fact!
Wasim Jaffar had a lot of potential and determination, He is a class test player but continuously ignored. Check his test record and also the last series in which he played. We are playing a person who is not in form as a opener and wasting a real talent
with in india, they are the undisputed kings. unfortunately, when it comes to representing the national colours, not many shine. only gavaskar, vengsarkar, shastri and tendulkar are class acts. rest are just like any other ordinaries.

Pravin Amre was completely wasted. Dhawal Kulkarni has equal calibre of Pravin Kumar and BhuvaneshKumar but he is ignored
Pujara and Jadeja would have made a big difference . Jaffers 132 was the differencein the end. You never know a Pujara double cannot be ruled out , he was in such roaring form and Jadeja is no mug in Ranji either. It was cruel to keep Pujara on the bench, either thye should have played him in the Indian team or allowed him to play the final.

If a double 100 from Pujara is taken for granted, what is the reason Pujara did'nt make three successive double hundreds against England in test matches?

as long as medicore politicain dhoni is captain, no hope for any mumbai or south player. Only northy friends of average dhoni will keep playing irrespective of performance

Pujara scored 2 double hundreds in his last 2 Ranji matches. YOu think his presence would have made no diffrence? Just imagine if Pujara had scored a hundred , itwould ahve changed the whole complexion of the finals.

First Finals for saurashtra....Pujara and Jadeja are playing for 5 years atleast. Whenever Pujara plays for saurashtra they fail to qualify for finals

Add Rohit sharma(triple centurion in ranji), rahane & zahher in Final. Mumbai team would have done even better

and you think rahane and rohit sharma would have got out on zero. C'mon..look at the result and accept it.
Saurashtra was left without the services of their best player - Cheteshwar Pujara by the polictics of BCCI. I am not saying that that was the sole difference but yes his absence did have a big impact in the team's morale. What did BCCI do with Pujara - gave him a free Bharat Darshan and made him freeze and warm the benches!! He could have atleast got a consolation match playing for Team India in the final ODI atleast! Most surprsingly Rohit also gets to sit out inspite of a match winning knock in the 4th ODI and Gambhir gets a recall for what?? I guess you can't leave the wining captain of the IPL out of team India. as the IPL is round the corner, so it affects the commercial numbers!!!
Chateshwar Pujara and Ravindu Jadeja were supposed to play for Saurashtra. Pujara was taken into Indian One day squad but never played a match, he missed important match. BCCI is hand in glove to favor an easier final for Mumbai. Cheaters Mumbai always conspire to win.

and if ambani was so shrewd how come he not only took sachin in the team but also made him captain?
