Holding Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 after IPL 2025 Auction a disservice to the players

The Mumbai line-up for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) wore an intimidating look. No less than six players had represented India, and new, hungry match-winners stood tall when called into action.  And who said you cannot teach an old dog new tricks? At 36, Mumbai opener Ajinkya Rahane was in prime form. With 469 runs at a strike rate of 164.56, Rahane emerged as the tournament’s highest…

Most Wickets in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India’s premier domestic T20 tournament, has seen some remarkable cricketing moments and standout performances over the years. Established in the 2006-07 season, it initially began as the Inter-State T20 Championship, with 27 Ranji teams divided into five zones. It was later renamed the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the first edition of the SMAT, Indian cricketer Rohit…

'In the zone' Abhishek sharma salutes seniors for guiding him to century

Abhishek Sharma gave Suryakumar Yadav credit for his brilliant century in the fifth Twenty20 International against England, which enabled India win by 150 runs and win the series 4-1. Abhishek's 37-ball century was the second-fastest in India's men's Twenty20 International history.

"I was in the right frame of mind to respond to the ball. Following the game, Abhishek remarked, "I did not even know my score." "What are your thoughts, Surya [Suryakumar] paaji? I merely asked. He said, "You may take your time, take a couple of balls, since a wicket has fallen." That truly aided me; I would say that it was only thanks to him that I achieved my maximum score and the hundred. During that period, I was unaware that I would achieve the second-fastest hundred for India.

Abhishek got off to a quick start, reaching fifty runs in just seventeen balls. After nine overs, he was on 94 from 32 balls, and he was aiming to break Rohit Sharma's record of the fastest T20I century, which was set at 35 balls. He finished with the best individual score for India in men's Twenty20 Internationals, 135, off of 54 balls.

He remarked, "I never thought I should play till the end." "My response to the ball depends on the team's circumstances. Fortunately, Surya Paaji came in today when I was in my 80s or 90s and told me that since I had worked hard and played well thus far, I may take two or three balls. I felt that I should bat cautiously when the captain was [batting] with me and gave me instructions. "You have to play according to the scenario and bat till the end since you are hitting the ball well," Hardik [Pandya] advised when he entered the game. There are no better players to listen to in that circumstance than these three veteran players who have performed well for India, which is where Axar entered the picture.

It was a timely knock from Abhishek, who could compete for slots in the team once Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal return, especially because India will not be playing a Twenty20 International anytime soon. He maintained, however, that none of that was on his mind.

"I met Shubman and Jassu [Jaiswal] yesterday [at the BCCI awards]." We have been playing together since Under-16, therefore there has never been a competition between us. Playing for India was the only dream. There is no finer feeling than the three of us playing right now.

"Yesterday [at the BCCI awards], I had met Shubman and Jassu [Jaiswal]." Playing together since Under-16, we have never been in a competition. The desire to play for India was the only one. Now that we are all playing together, there is no finer sensation.

One of the leaders of India's high-intent batting model has been Abhishek. He has amassed 1893 runs in T20 cricket since the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2023–24 began. Only five batters in the world have scored more runs than Abhishek, and none of them have done so more quickly than his 199.47. In the SMAT that his home team, Punjab, won, he was named Player of the Tournament. Even the IPL 2024 runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad benefited from his quick starts. What caused the change?

Abhishek stated, "I decided I should back myself and express myself after seeing the fruits of the hard work I put into [batting in a particular way] before that season." "I spent a lot of time around open nets practicing match scenarios. Play your shots, but make sure you do not get out, was the only thing Brian Lara had instructed me. That is what I was thinking of. I believed I could hit shots off the first or second ball as well because of that.

"You do not do much exploring when you are young, but I did that and realized I could play more purposefully and benefit the team. Your team will support you when you do successfully. I so reasoned that I must play this style on my day, whether it is for my franchise or Punjab. Naturally, it is a significant and unique occasion in India. I believed that I should nurture my ability if I possess it. You have to be clear about playing this manner, even though there are ups and downs.

Additionally, Abhishek emphasized the contribution Yuvraj Singh, a former all-rounder for India, has made to his game.

"Yuvi Paaji believed in me, put all of these thoughts in my head, and was always there for me." You also strive to believe in yourself and give it your all when Yuvraj Singh says that you will play for the country and win games. He is the one I listen to, and we have a conversation after each game. I do not know him as well as he does. The greatest source of inspiration for a young player on the squad is hearing from their coach and captain that they must play this way and that they would always support them. I recall Hardik Paaji and Suryapaaji encouraging me in South Africa, "Just believe in yourself, and you will definitely make some runs." The greatest incentive for any player is their belief in them, thus I am thankful that Gauti [head coach Gautam Gambhir] paaji returned in this series."

[ad_1] left: Bengal head coach Laxmi Ratan Shukla. Right: Suraj Singh Jaiswal, centurion for Bengal against Punjab. -Shamik Chakrabarty at Eden Gardens Bengal signed off with a bang, winning by an innings and 13 runs against Punjab and clinching seven points from this Ranji Trophy game at Eden Gardens. It took their points tally to 21 from seven group league matches. But they fell behind Kerala and Haryana in Elite Group C, and failed to qualify for the knockouts. From Bengal’s perspective, the washed out game against Bihar in Kalyani would rankle. It was a seven-pointer for the hosts. But the ground wasn’t covered and rain on the match-eve put paid any chances of play over the next four days. That said, batting implosions in both innings (85 all out in the second) against Haryana didn’t do Bengal any favours. Actually, this has been a mixed bag season for them. Away from home, against good teams like Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, they held sway. At the same time, Bengal failed to show the winning mentality in matches where a little more cutting edge could have given them some extra points. The fixture against Kerala was an example. The mitigating factor was the absence of a few key players for a good chunk of the season. Abhimanyu Easwaran, the team’s best batsman, was with the Indian team in Australia. Then, a finger injury ruled him out of the last two group league matches. Akash Deep has become a regular in the Indian team in red-ball cricket and Bengal will have to learn to cope with his absence. Mukesh Kumar was a travelling reserve in Australia and picked up a niggle after returning home. Shahbaz Ahmed, the spin-bowling all-rounder, too, suffered an injury. After the win against Punjab, Bengal head coach Laxmi Ratan Shukla’s team-talk was positive. He praised the boys and urged them to improve next season. Asked by RevSportz if he would continue as head coach, Shukla said: “I haven’t thought about it yet.” He is set to write an email to the BCCI, offering a few suggestions. “I would write an email soon, asking the BCCI not to schedule the Ranji Trophy matches in the East Zone in October,” Shukla said at the post-match press conference. “The monsoon is still not over in our part of the world in October. Matches get washed out and teams suffer.” The second point in Shukla’s email would focus on playing the group league matches in the Ranji Trophy at one go. “The Ranji Trophy is our premier domestic tournament, a stepping stone for Test cricket and the group league matches should be played at a stretch,” he said. The Ranji Trophy fixtures this term had two halves. After the first five rounds, there was a pause for the white-ball tournaments – Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. Red-ball cricket returned for the final two group league rounds in January. Also, Shukla’s suggestion would include a rejig in India A selection policy. “Players like Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Kishore – those who are nearing thirty – shouldn’t be considered for the India A team. They have played enough for India A. Now, if they are to be picked for the Indian team, that should be based on their performances in domestic cricket. Young and upcoming players should be picked for India A.” Coming back to Bengal’s game against Punjab, the third day’s play started an hour late due to bad light. Punjab resumed on 62/3, needing another 88 runs to avoid the innings defeat. They folded for 139 in their second innings to concede a bonus point. Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal returned with 4/69. His new-ball partner Sumit Mohanta took 3/29. Jaiswal was the Player-of-the-Match for his century and an eight-wicket match haul. “Our batsmen failed to show the required application,” Punjab coach Wasim Jaffer lamented. Brief scores: Punjab 191 and 139 all out (Mayank Markande 31; Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal 4/69, Sumit Mohanta 3/29) lost to Bengal 343 by an innings and 13 runs Points: Bengal 7, Punjab 0 Also Read: A flying catch by the keeper ends Wriddhiman Saha’s career

Sachin Tendulkar is probably going to win the CK Nayudu Award

It is anticipated that Sachin Tendulkar would receive recognition on Saturday at the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) annual awards ceremony in Mumbai. Although it is yet unclear if he would receive the coveted CK Nayudu Award, the Maestro is set to receive one.

Tendulkar had played for India in 463 ODIs and one T20I, for a total of 664 international matches, in addition to his nearly unbeatable 200 Tests. He has amassed nearly 34,000 runs and 100 international hundreds in these games. In addition, he received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna.

The other recipients of the CK Nayudu Award include: Lala Amarnath, Syed Mushtaq Ali, Vijay Hazare, KN Prabhu, Hemu Adhikari, Subhash Gupte, MAK Pataudi, BB Nimbalkar, Chandu Borde, Bishan Singh Bedi, S Venkataraghavan, EAS Prasanna, BS Chadrasekhar, Mohinder Amarnath, Salim Durani, Ajit Wadekar, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Syed Kirmani, Rajinder Goel, Padmakar Shivalkar, K Srikkanth, and Farookh Engineer. The honor was given to Ravi Shastri in 2023, making him the last recipient.

The other big point of interest at the awards night is the guest speaker for the annual MAK Pataudi lecture. It is still not clear who will deliver the lecture.

In the meantime, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is receiving recognition for being the top domestic cricket association. Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy for the 42nd time last year. The Mumbai Cricket Association will get the BCCI Annual Awards' Best Performance in BCCI Domestic Tournaments (2023–24) prize at the Naman 2023–24 ceremony. This honor honors the unwavering spirit of our players, support staff, and administration and underlines Mumbai's dominance in domestic cricket, including the Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup victories," the MCA said in a statement.

Iyer, Jaiswal, and Rohit will not play in Mumbai's crucial Ranji Trophy match.

In the run-up to the England ODI series early next month, Mumbai will not have India internationals Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shreyas Iyer in the next round of the Ranji Trophy. Iyer played nearly the whole domestic season, including two white-ball tournaments, while the Mumbai trio had previously participated in the previous round, which Kohli and Rahul did not. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, for example, will be included in the upcoming round beginning January 30. Four days following the planned conclusion of the final Ranji Trophy round, on February 6, the ODI series against England begins in Nagpur.

After the BCCI's new rules required playing domestic cricket, Rohit and Jaiswal, who open together in Test matches as well, opened for Mumbai against Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the previous round. Following India's back-to-back series defeats to Australia and New Zealand, which prevented the team from qualifying for the World Test Championship final, the board issued the directive, particularly because India's batting lineup was unable to produce significant runs. With an average of a pitiful 10.93 this season and just 164 runs from his previous 15 Test innings, Rohit in particular has been one of the worst of the group. When he batted for Mumbai, his luck didn't improve; he only managed to score 3 and 28 against J&K.

Jaiswal too had a poor Test season, scoring two half-centuries and a century in Australia after four fifties at home, but he still only managed low scores of 4 and 26.

However, this Ranji season, Iyer has been Mumbai's highest scorer. He averaged 68.57 and scored 480 runs from seven innings, including two hundreds. Additionally, he recently scored two undefeated hundreds in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy. Additionally, he scored 345 runs at 188.52 in the 20-over Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which he won.

Shivam Dube, an all-rounder who joined the India T20I team just after Mumbai's match against J&K concluded, would also not be playing for Mumbai.

All-rounders Atharva Ankolekar and Suryansh Shedge, who won Player of the Match in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final, as well as batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi are back in the squad for the last league match against Meghalaya. Mumbai is probably going to rely on the youthful opening duo of 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre and Raghuvanshi, who has already started his first domestic season with an impressive record of four hundreds and two half-centuries in 18 innings across first-class and List A formats.

Mumbai, the reigning champions, are in a difficult position to get to the Ranji knockout stages as they are ranked third in Group A, behind J&K and Baroda. They must win their final match against Meghalaya.

Mumbai squad

Ajinkya Rahane (c), Ayush Mhatre, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Amogh Bhatkal, Siddhesh Lad, Akash Anand (wk), Hardik Tamore (wk), Suryansh Shedge, Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Mohit Avasthi, Sylvester D'Souza, Royston Dias, Shreyas Gurav and Atharva Ankolekar

[trendingnews19]

Shivam Dube is set to join India's T20I squad against England as cover for Nitish Kumar Reddy for the ongoing five-match series against England. It is understood that Reddy is out with a side strain, and has been advised four weeks' rest.Dube will be available for the series from the third T20I onwards. His last outing for India was in August 2024, during an ODI series in Sri Lanka. He then missed India's home T20I series against Bangladesh with a back injury. Dube returned to cricket with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he scored 151 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 179.76, and took three wickets at an economy of 9.31.In all, he has played 33 T20Is for India, for 448 runs at a strike rate of 134.93 with the bat, and 11 wickets with the ball. He was part of India's T20 World Cup-winning squad in the West Indies and USA last year.Dube's most recent outing at the competitive level was Mumbai's Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, which ended on Saturday afternoon. He was out without scoring in both innings, and picked up one wicket in the match as Mumbai lost by five wickets.India won the first T20I against England, in Kolkata, by seven wickets with all of 43 balls remaining. Reddy didn't have much to do in the game: he took two catches, but did not get to bowl or bat as India romped home. The second T20I against England will be played on Saturday evening in Chennai.

In this article, we delve into the factors that make CricTracker India unique, its rise in the digital media space, and its impact on cricket fans across India and beyond.

The Birth of CricTracker India

CricTracker India was born out of the growing need for a dedicated platform that offered timely, accurate, and engaging cricket content.

Ravi Shastri slams India’s injury management, “Shami should have been in Australia”

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has voiced his concerns regarding the management of Mohammed Shami’s injury, expressing surprise that the pacer was not included in the squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy despite ongoing fitness issues. Shami has been sidelined since the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury that required surgery, followed by complications from a knee injury that led to swelling and further delayed his return to competitive cricket.

Shastri criticized the lack of clear communication from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about Shami’s recovery status, stating, “Where is he when it comes to recovery? He’s been sitting in the NCA for I don’t know how long.” He emphasized that Shami’s presence could have significantly impacted India’s performance in Australia, especially with the series tied at 1-1 before heading into the fourth Test.

Despite Shami’s impressive domestic performances, including bowling in the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he was officially ruled out of the series due to a knee flare-up. Shastri believes that keeping Shami with the team for rehabilitation would have been beneficial, allowing him access to top physiotherapists and potentially enabling him to contribute later in the series. Ultimately, India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1, missing out on a chance to compete in the World Test Championship final.
