[ad_1] Mumbai vs Haryana at the Eden Gardens “We were not disheartened. We knew we could fight back,” said Shams Mulani at the end of the first day of play in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final between Mumbai and Haryana at Eden Gardens. The all-rounder had a point. For the umpteenth time in the recent past, Mumbai recovered from a collapse thanks to their all-rounders. From 25/4 and 113/7, they ended the day at 278/8. Mulani fell towards the end after making 91, but not before sharing an eighth-wicket stand worth 165 with Tanush Kotian, who remained unbeaten on 85. It’s a five-day game and a lot of cricket remains to be played on a surface offering seam movement in the first hour or so, given the 9am start. However, it can be said that this partnership can turn out to be the defining one of this match. The ball jagged around in the initial stages on a surface decent for batting otherwise. Haryana’s pace sensation Anshul Kamboj uprooted the middle-stump of Mumbai’s Ayush Mhatre with the first ball the match. Three more batters —Akash Anand, Siddhesh Lad and Suryakumar Yadav — had their stumps shattered soon after. By the eighth over, Mumbai were four down. Kamboj and his new-ball partner Sumit Kumar bowled the ideal lengths to keep the batters guessing. It was relentless accuracy from both ends. There was hardly any loose ball and the bowlers forced the batters into mistakes. Kamboj was the bowler of the day, for making the new ball move both ways and showing a big heart by bowling long spells. A fifth-wicket stand of 40 between skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube seemed to have revived Mumbai. Dube was prepared to take the attack to the opposition, but fell when he chased a wide one to be caught at a wide second slip. Rahane was the more assured of the two and played some fluent drives. Kamboj made him play one just outside off and moving away late. At lunch, it was 101/6 and this became 113/7 when Shardul Thakur left soon into the second session. “This was not the first time that we were six or seven down without too many runs on the board,” said Mulani, the left-handed all-rounder. “We didn’t lose composure. Our captain told us that the situation wasn’t good, but we could still stage a recovery. We also had this belief, having done it on many occasions in the past. We knew we could be back in this and that’s what we did.” Brief scores: Mumbai 278/8 (Shams Mulani 91, Taniush Kotian 85 bating, Anshul Kamboj 3/58) vs Haryana. Nair at it again for Vidarbha In Nagpur, Vidarbha and Tamil Nadu were Even Stevens. Karun Nair made an unbeaten 100 and lifted Vidarbha from a shaky 167/5 to 264/6 at stumps. Nair, who was in scintillating form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy one-dayers, shared a fourth-wicket stand of 98 with Danish Malewar, who made 75. In a spin-heavy Tamil Nadu attack, Vijay Shankar’s medium-pace fetched 2/50. Brief scores: Vidarbha 264/6 (Karun Nair 100 batting, Danish Malewar 75) vs Tamil Nadu. Nidheesh hands Kerala the edge In Pune, Kerala medium-pacer MD Nidheesh took 5/56 to hand his team the advantage against Jammu & Kashmir. None of the batters crossed fifty as J&K ended the day at a shaky 228/8. Kanhaiya Wadhwan made 48 and Lone Nasir 44. Brief scores: J&K 228/8 (Kanhaiya Wadhwan 48, Lone Nasir 44, MD Nidheesh 5/56) vs Kerala. Pujara fails as Gujarat take Day 1 honours In Rajkot, Gujarat reached a strong position by dismissing Saurashtra for 216 and finishing the day at 21 without loss. Saurashtra lost the plot after a decent start and slipped from 127/2. Chirag Jani, who made 69, was lone man to cross fifty. Cheteshwar Pujara was out for 26. Brief scores: Saurashtra 216 (Chirag Jani 69, Chintan Gaja 4/48). Gujarat 21/0.

Kohli lasts 15 balls on Ranji return; Saurashtra eye bonus-point win

The last round of league matches in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 is up and running. Here are the highlights from the second day.

Kohli's short stay

He made six deliveries out of a total of fifteen. After being hit late by a big delivery and then missing a length ball that he poked, Virat Kohli was beaten outside off twice.

In the subsequent over, he produced a lovely straight drive, but Himanshu Sangwan, who works as a Railways ticket collector at New Delhi Railway Station during the off-season, sent his off stump cartwheeling, dismissing him off the very next delivery. With a brilliant nip-backer who slipped through Kohli's large bat-to-pad gap, Sangwan quickly rose to fame.

Ayush Badoni's excellent knock was missed by a boisterous crowd of about 15,000 people who immediately headed for the exit. With three first-inning wickets left, Delhi had a 93-run advantage over Railways thanks to the captain's 77-ball 99.

Pujara 99, Saurashtra on course

The timing could not be more ideal for Saurashtra. Last week, they defeated Delhi in three days, with Ravindra Jadeja taking 12 wickets. They needed two straight games with bonus points, both played at home in Rajkot on turners.

They did not require Ravindra's bowling this week because Assam was forced to follow-on and the other Jadeja, Dharmendrasinh, took four wickets. A strong batting display in the first innings put Saurashtra in a position to impose the follow-on.

Cheteshwar Pujara, who had added four to his overnight total and went dismissed for 99 early on day two, set up their 474. Riyan Parag was Assam's sole obstacle, scoring 51 runs on his comeback to the top division of cricket after suffering a shoulder ailment.

Kuldeep made to toil

Kuldeep Yadav returned to competitive cricket three months after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. He claimed three wickets in 31 overs, but Uttar Pradesh was sent on a leather hunt. Harsh Gawli and Shubham Sharma contributed double tons to Madhya Pradesh's fictitious 670 for 7 declaration. This game is not very important from a qualification perspective because both teams are eliminated from the knockout stage.

Rahane 96 in mammoth Mumbai total

Mumbai took a 585-run lead over Meghalaya, but Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed for 96, ending his hopes of turning his first-class fifty this Ranji season into a century.

At stumps, Meghalaya was 27 for 2, giving Mumbai a chance to reach 29 points and guarantee a spot in the quarterfinals by gaining seven whole points. They needed a favor from Jammu & Kashmir going into the last round, and they have aided them by giving them a lead in the first innings against Baroda and creating the chance for an outright victory.

Jalaj continues to shine

The Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena achieved the milestone of 6000 first-class runs and 400 wickets earlier this season. He scored five runs in each of the final round of matches on Friday, helping Kerala defeat Bihar by an innings and guarantee a spot in the quarterfinals.

Jalaj reached the seventh-highest number of wickets in the competition with 421. He had taken ten or more wickets in a first-class match for the tenth time. In response to Kerala's 351 runs, which were fueled by 150 from Salman Nizar, Bihar made 64 and 118 runs in a total of 64.2 overs over the course of both innings.

TN stutter but knockouts chances burn bright Despite needing 97 and having just five wickets remaining against Jharkhand, there is a chance that Tamil Nadu might still advance to the knockout stages. This is because, in a game that they needed to win with a bonus point, Chandigarh, who had won three straight games in the first half, now gave up the lead to Chhattisgarh. Vijay Shankar, who is undefeated at 33, is the key to Tamil Nadu's chances of winning the chase.

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul in the Ranji Trophy (PC: MCA, DDCA, KCA/X) Gargi Raut at Arun Jaitley Stadium A Virat Kohli fan standing outside Gate No. 17 of the Arun Jaitley Stadium proudly showing off his sketches of Indian players, a fangirl at the end of Day 1 screaming at the top of her lungs in excitement over her brief interaction with the local hero, and a crowd of over 10,000 filling up the stands all remind us of the sheer power of public adoration. The same adoration has breathed new life into domestic cricket, bringing the kind of attention that the Ranji Trophy hadn’t seen for decades. Be it Rohit Sharma in Mumbai, Mohammad Siraj in Nagpur, or KL Rahul in Bangalore, the presence of these India stars has drawn massive crowds to otherwise low-profile fixtures. Star culture and public worship are two sides of the same coin. While the BCCI have brought in stringent measures to negate the effects that ‘star culture’ was having on the Indian dressing room, they couldn’t ignore public demand, ultimately deciding to livestream the Ranji Trophy clash between Delhi and Railways solely because of Kohli’s participation. But beyond the spectacle, what truly matters is the impact these global icons have on young domestic players. Ayush Badoni, the 25-year-old Delhi captain, standing next to Kohli in the slips, soaking in every bit of wisdom and a 24-year-old Sanat Sangwan batting alongside one of the greatest batters of the generation – these are exactly the moments you envision when thinking of young talents learning from legends. A close source reported that on the first day of practice, Kohli spent more than an hour speaking to the youngsters in the team, players he had never even met before. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Virat Kohli in action on the first day of the Ranji Trophy match against Railways. Just as the crowd jumped to their feet after Kohli hit a straight drive for four, they then fell silent as he was out the very next delivery. One thing was certain, that no one can pull a crowd like international stars on the domestic circuit. In hindsight, no one could leave a bigger impact on young players striving to make their mark either. For decades, domestic cricket in India had been missing a spark. While the Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and others have been a breeding ground for superstars, their relevance for the public has declined – empty stadiums, matches barely covered and only the most die-hard cricket fans watching. But the influx of international stars has reignited interest. The sheer numbers wanting to watch a Kohli, Rohit, Rahul or Siraj in a Ranji Trophy game is proof enough that domestic cricket too can be a crowd-puller if marketed well. If the BCCI is able to ensure consistent participation from global stars and promote domestic fixtures with the same intensity as they do an IPL – perhaps by playing up state rivalries, iconic venues and historic matchups – it can showcase top-quality cricket. Not only that, if the BCCI can market something like a Southern Derby for Karnataka vs Tamil Nadu, or bill a Mumbai-Delhi game as a North vs West rivalry, interest can be created. Domestic tournaments were once marquee events in their own right, and if the momentum built over the past fortnight can be sustained, Indian cricket will be well served.

Week-15

MOD vs T20 XI - Wed 7 Aug, 6pm 1st XI vs Carsons & Mangotsfield - Sat 10 Aug, 1pm Nailsea vs 2nd XI - Sat 10 Aug, 1pm

Midweek T20 Friendly

Week 15 begins with an away T20 friendly on Wednesday, 7th August, where the T20 XI will play at the Civil Service Club.

The match starts promptly at 6pm.

Midweek fixtures such as this one provide a valuable chance for players to refine their skills and enjoy some spirited competition.

Crucial Home Fixture for the 1st XI

On Saturday, 10th August, the 1st XI, under the captaincy of Jonny Weber, will host promotion-chasing Carsons & Mangotsfield.

The game begins at 1pm and is pivotal for the team, which currently sits 8th in the league.

Last weekend, the 1st XI experienced a heart-wrenching one-wicket loss to St. Mary Redcliffe, who clinched victory with just one ball to spare.

Dan Brussow's extraordinary 114, including 16 fours and 6 sixes, powered Leigh to a competitive 260 all out after being well-placed at 228 for 3.

Brussow also impressed with the ball, leading the attack with figures of 3 for 44.

This weekend’s fixture presents an opportunity for the team to bounce back and strengthen their league position.

Vital Away Game for the 2nd XI

Mike Dean’s 2nd XI will journey to The Grove to face fellow strugglers Nailsea on Saturday, starting at 1pm.

The 2nd XI, 7th in their league, seeks redemption after being overwhelmed by Tamil Nadu, who posted an imposing 300 runs last weekend.

Despite the challenging match, Pete Nannini displayed promise with a steady 30 at the top of the order, and returning club legend James Holdsworth bowled excellently, securing 3 for 25.

However, the team’s bowling resources remain significantly depleted.

This match is crucial for the 2nd XI as they strive to climb the league table with just four games remaining.

Player Availability and Volunteer Appreciation

As we approach the crucial final weeks of the season, it is essential for all players to update their availability in Pitchero.

Taking just 30 seconds can make a significant difference in ensuring we field our strongest possible teams.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated volunteers.

Their tireless work behind the scenes ensures the smooth running of our cricket club, and their contributions are invaluable.

Let’s unite to support our teams and aim for success as we head into this critical phase of the season!
