Mumbai began their Ranji Trophy campaign on a positive note, after a 309-run victory against Baroda on the last day of their Round 1 match. The match was hosted at Vadodara's Reliance Stadium. One of the highlights of the match was Baroda batsman, Yusuf Pathan, who refused to walk off the field after being given out by the on-field umpire, only for India national cricket team star Ajinkya Rahane to intervene.
