Consistent Dominance of the Sharma Team

With this result, the Mahendra Sharma-led team has secured victory for the fifth consecutive time since 2009. Over the years, Sharma has served as Secretary, Treasurer, and even as a special invitee in the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA). Many Ranji players from Udaipur have also been selectors for the Rajasthan team. Expectations are high that Udaipur’s influence in RCA will continue, paving the way to finally realize the 15-year-old dream of a cricket stadium in the city, and to enable local players to advance to the IPL and the Indian national team.
