The Mumbai Cricket Association has announced a bonus of Rs. 80 lakh – the same as the BCCI prize money – for triumphant Mumbai’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad.
The State cricket body’s president Ajinkya Naik announced the bonus at a media interaction in the presence of captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Omkar Salvi at the MCA headquarters after the squad’s arrival from Bengaluru. The T20 triumph is Mumbai men’s squad’s third triumph of the calendar year and its second title of the season.
With two more tournaments remaining in the season, the squad is looking forward to a rare Grand Slam in domestic cricket by winning all four senior men’s titles.

“We have built a mindset in the dressing room and on the field that no matter whatever situation we are put in, we are going to face it head on,” Shreyas said.
“As they say, take the bull by its horns and that’s what we have been doing throughout the season and hopefully we maintain the same momentum throughout.”
While Shreyas was all praise for Ajinkya Rahane – the quintessential team man – who emerged as the Player of the Tournament despite being forced to bat at No. 4 initially before switching into the opener’s role midway through the season.
