Following the loss to Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy final at home, Bengal skipper Manoj Tiwary said that his side had made some mistakes due to which they lost the game and they will try to rectify them.
Saurashtra defeated Bengal by nine wickets to lift the Ranji Trophy title for the second time here at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. “We have made some mistakes due to which we are in this situation today, we will try to improve by focusing on our mistakes. This is just a game, sometimes there is success, sometimes there is disappointment,” Manoj Tiwary said.
Bengal once again failed to win the title that it had last captured in the 1989-90 season. Since then, it has finished as the runners-up five times.
