Mumbai vs Vidarbha Ranji Trophy 2023-24 final Live Cricket Score Streaming: When and where to watch?

[ad_1] Mumbai vs Vidarbha Ranji Trophy final Live Streaming:Led by an astute captain in Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai will look to maintain their hegemony on Ranji Trophy with a 42nd title but a gutsy and battle-hardened Vidarbha won’t make it easy for the legacy champions in the much-anticipated final starting tomorrow. In Mumbai, coming second best is never an option and nothing short of a title would satisfy the connoisseurs of Mumbai cricket sitting in the Garware pavilion of the Wankhede Stadium. If Mumbai have found multiple heroes from Nos 1 to 11 to sail through, the two-time winners Vidarbha, whose twin title wins came not too long ago in 2017-18 and 2018-19, have managed to put on consistent performances across departments to make their way into the summit class of India’s premier dom...

Ranji Trophy: ‘Big, big relief’ for Shardul Thakur as he smashes first FC ton, but India return not on his mind at the moment

[ad_1] It came 11 years after he made his debut, in his 81st match and a couple of months after being dropped from Team India. It’s a ‘big, big relief’, admitted Shardul Thakur after scoring a counter-attacking century on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy semifinals against Tamil Nadu on Sunday. But the Mumbai pacer is conscious the ton might not immediately open the doors for him to get back into the Test squad. After being axed from the ODI and T20 squad last year, Thakur was dropped from the Test team during India’s tour to South Africa in January. “I think an international comeback is far from now because the Test team is out already for the fifth game and after this, we are going into the IPL so it’s far,” Thakur said after the second day’s play at the MCA-BKC ground. “I am not thinking tha...

‘Acha kiya, par…’: What Sarfaraz Khan advised younger brother Musheer before he scored maiden Ranji Trophy hundred

[ad_1] With a single to square leg, Musheer Khan, 18, completed his maiden hundred in his third First-Class game for Mumbai. Totterring at 90 for 4 in their Ranji Trophy quarter final against Baroda, Mumbai were resuscitated by Musheer’s unbeaten 128. Watching Musheer complete his third hundred in less than a month — the other two at the Under-19 World Cup — was his father and coach Naushad Khan. For the Khans, the past few weeks have been a golden period. Older brother Sarfaraz scored two fifties on Test debut against England in Rajkot. Musheer, a star of the Under-19 World Cup, came to Mumbai’s rescue in a knockout game. “Acha time chal raha hai, dunno bhai ka time chal raha hai (The fortunes of both brothers have changed). I don’t want to think too much,” Musheer said at the end of ...

After Ranji Trophy debacle against Pondicherry, Delhi sack Yash Dhull as captain, Himmat Singh to take over

[ad_1] Hours after Delhi suffered an embarrassing nine-wicket loss to Pondicherry in the Ranji Trophy, the selectors sacked Yash Dhull from the captaincy. Middle-order batsman Himmat Singh will replace Dhull for the rest of the tournament. “It was the selectors’ call. To me, Yash getting runs is the most important thing. He is the future of Delhi cricket and maybe Indian cricket. He needs to be taken care of. Anything that helps him concentrate on his batting and getting runs should be prioritised. He doesn’t need distractions off the field,” Delhi coach Devang Gandhi told The Indian Express. “We want Yash (Dhull) to concentrate on his batting, that is why we have relieved him of captaincy duties,” said the DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda. Himmat had led Delhi to their famous win o...

Ranji Trophy 2023: Stuck on 384, level with Maharashtra in first innings, Mumbai might miss quarterfinals

[ad_1] Maharashtra have almost tripped up Mumbai’s chances of making the Ranji quarters as both teams finished on identical first inning score of 384. It led to an unexpected twist at Brabourne. There were only 9 previous instances in Ranji Trophy where both teams ended up having their first-innings scores level. And Mumbai, needing three points to make it to the quarterfinals, only had to surpass Maharashtra’s total of 384 and force a draw. However, despite Prasad Pawar’s maiden century (145) and Tanush Kotian’s 93, they managed only 384. When the 8th wicket fell Mumbai needed 44 more runs with Kotian fighting the lone battle. Then Mohit Avasthi fell, they needed 13 more runs. But with the scores level, left-arm spinner Vicky Otswal bowled Kotian to dash Mumbai’s hopes. With no team get...

Ranji Trophy: Tamil Nadu’s Pradosh Ranjan Paul conquers fort Kotla

[ad_1] After a hop, a skip, a jump of joy and a fist pump, Pradosh Ranjan Paul dug his bat into the ground like a sword, put his helmet on top of the handle, and bowed to the Tamil Nadu dressing room. Pradosh, the first cricketer from the textile hub of Tiruppur to play in the Ranji Trophy, celebrated his maiden first-class century like a warrior who had just conquered the Kotla fort.

Before Thursday, Pradosh had scored 29 centuries...
