Mumbai and Rest of India have come face to face in the Irani Trophy 2024 tournament. The Ranji Trophy winning team and the Rest of India players face each other in this tournament. In the last season, under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai won the title. On the other hand, Rituraj Gaikwad is the captain of the Rest of India team. In this match, the coin toss was decided in favor of Rituraj Gaikwad. Rituraj guessed Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium and decided to bowl first
Mumbaiβs Early Struggles and Middle-Order Rescue
Mumbai’s innings started badly in this match. The leading three batsmen were quickly dismissed. So the responsibility came to the middle level. Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, and Hardik Tamore were dismissed cheaply. Hardik could not even open an account. The situation was 3 for 37 runs. In such a situation, the partnership of captain Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer became important. The duo shared a 102-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed for 57 off 84 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes. Yash Dayal showed him the way to the tent.
After Shreyas Iyer’s dismissal, Ajinkya Rahane continued his tough innings. A good partnership with Sarfaraz Khan for the fifth wicket. Ajinkya Rahane has marched towards the century. Sarfaraz Khan has completed his half-century. So it has to be said that the first day was dominated by the Mumbai batsmen. Mukesh Kumar bowled well in the first session. Then Yash Dayal broke the big partnership by dismissing Shreyas Iyer. Apart from this the famous Krishna, Manav Suthar, and Samsara Jain did not get success.
Playing XI for Both Teams
Mumbai: Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Sarfaraz Khan, Hardik Tamore (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, M Junaid Khan, Mohit Awasthi.
