Shreyas Iyer to captain Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT): Reports
Tournament is starting from 23rd November Shreyas Iyer (Pic Source-X) Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has reportedly appointed Shreyas Iyer as the captain for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), while Prithvi Shaw has also got a place in the squad. The senior selection committee, which will start from November 23, took this decision on Sunday. So, if Indian Express reports regarding this decision are to be believed, then the appointment of giving the responsibility of captaincy to Iyer has been done because of his impressive track record in the shortest format. It is noteworthy that in IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the title for the third time under the captaincy of Iyer. If this happens, then Mumbai Ranji team captain Ajinkya Rahane can be seen playing under the captaincy of Iyer. On the other hand, opener Prithvi Shaw has also returned in the tournament starting from November 23, who was not included in Mumbai’s Ranji team due to fitness reasons. So due to injuries in this team, some star players have not got a place. This season, Shivam Dubey, Musheer Khan and fast bowler Tushar Deshpande will not be able to play in SMAT from Mumbai due to injury. But despite all this, there is a lot of depth in batting and bowling in the Mumbai team selected for the tournament. The team has experienced players like Shams Mulani and Shardul Thakur, who provide balance to the team in both areas.

SA vs IND: Basit Ali is unhappy with Hardik Pandya’s performance against South Africa, said this big thing while trolling
Hardik had played an inning of 39* runs in 45 balls against South Africa. Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second match of the ongoing T20 series between South Africa and India (SA vs IND) was played on Sunday, November 10. Let us tell you that former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has been seen strongly criticizing the performance of all-rounder Hardik Pandya in this match. Basit says whether he has come here to prepare for Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that when India’s score was 45/4 in the match, Hardik came to the crease to bat. However, Hardik, who was set at the crease after scoring 33 runs in 35 balls, could not give the finishing touch to Team India’s innings. Hardik did not take single runs on the last 10 balls played and during this he was able to score only 4 runs. In the match, he played an inning of 39 runs in 45 balls and India scored 124 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Which was later easily achieved by South Africa with 3 wickets in hand. Basit Ali criticized Hardik Pandya’s performance After the second T20 match between South Africa vs India, Basit Ali said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Pandya remained unbeaten, he played for himself, why did he play for himself? I think he is preparing for Mumbai Indians and IPL. The way he was playing presented a very sad picture. He was not even taking a single, whereas Arshdeep (Singh) had hit a six. Basit further said – India had not fallen for 9 wickets, that it was refusing to take singles. Only six wickets had fallen. He should have taken a single, but he is a big player and is India’s favourite. Akshar (Patel) batted better than him, who unfortunately got run out after scoring 27 runs in 21 balls.

Pakistan had scored over 800 runs in the first innings, and secured a massive win on Asian soil by an innings and 47 runs against the hosts in the match. Basit Ali conducted pitch curator class Let us tell you that amidst the ongoing second Test match between Pakistan and England in Multan, Basit Ali said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – We thought in the first Test match that the ball would spin on the second day, but on the fifth day of the match. This did not happen even on the day, the curator is from Australia and has also been a part of the ICC, but he does not know how to prepare the pitch. Basit further said- Now the players will play on the same pitch, it is expected that the ball will spin. What’s the point of hiring a curator who doesn’t know how to make a pitch? This is a very important question, the whole world is making fun of us. Look at India, the pitch is prepared by the curators the way they want.
