Ranji Trophy 2024: Ajinkya Rahane’s bat has become rusty, now the batsman will have to retire at any cost.
Rahane has scored only one half-century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season. Ajinkya Rahane The second semi-final of the current season of Ranji Trophy is being played between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu. Currently, Mumbai team is batting in the match. Mumbai batsmen have proved to be a flop in this match. From top order to middle order, all the batsmen could not do anything special with the bat. Mumbai captain Rahane, for whom this match was considered very important for his career, himself got out cheaply. After seeing Rahane’s performance in this Ranji season, his return to Team India seems quite difficult. Actually, Rahane was dropped from the Indian Test team due to poor form, he played his last Test for Team India against West Indies in July last year. There was still some hope of his comeback after performing in the Ranji Trophy, but it seems to be slowly fading away now. Ajinkya Rahane is failing with the bat in the current season of Ranji Trophy. There is rust on Rahane’s bat even in Ranji Trophy. In the 11 innings played so far, he has been able to cross the 50-run mark only once, while he has not been able to even touch the double figures 7 times. In such a situation, his return to Team India now seems impossible. Actually, in the absence of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, there is currently no experienced batsman in the middle order of Team India. After the Test series against England, India has to play home Test series against New Zealand and Bangladesh. After this the Indian team will go on Australia tour. In such a situation, if Ajinkya Rahane had been in good form then Rahane’s name could have been considered. Since there are no runs in his account now, the selectors will insist on considering some other player in his place. current ranji Talking about Rahane’s performance in the season, his scores in all the matches were – 0, 0, 16, 8, 9, 1, 56*, 22, 3,0, 19. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how much they are able to score in the second innings of the semi-final match.
IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill is working hard to cement his place in the team, training alone at PCA Stadium
Shubman Gill came into the series with poor form. The right-handed batsman had not scored a single century while batting at number three since the 2023 tour of West Indies. Shubman was failing with the bat even in the first innings of the opening Test match in Hyderabad. After that, to save his place in the Test team, the batsman scored a brilliant century in Vizag and then played an inning of 91 runs in Rajkot. Shubman might have completed his century in Rajkot also, but was run out in the second innings of the match. The batsman played an important role in the fourth Test match in Ranchi and remained unbeaten on 52 runs in the last innings of the match on a difficult pitch and contributed significantly to the team’s position. Before the fifth Test match, Shubman Gill was seen honing his batting skills with his father. India defeated England by 5 wickets in the fourth test match thanks to the strong partnership of Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill. With that win, India has taken a 3-1 lead in the Test series.
Virat and Faf will not open for RCB in IPL 2024 – shocking statement of former cricketer
Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that if the pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis do not perform well at the beginning of IPL 2024, then Royal Challengers Bangalore may change their opening combination. Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, scoring 730 runs in 14 innings at an average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 153.68. Kohli was the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise last season, scoring 639 runs in 14 innings at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate of 139.82. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra did not pick Kohli and Du Plessis in his top three opening pair in IPL 2024. Explaining the reason behind this, he said, “RCB’s Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli were a very successful pair last year. They can still be very, very good. The only caveat on why I haven’t placed him in the top three is that Faf has played very little cricket since then. This will be a problem. In such a situation, you may see a change in the starting combination.” Chopra believes that if the opening combination of Kohli and Du Plessis fails then RCB can open with Will Jacques or Cameron Green. However, he said that the RCB captain can be dismissed at his own peril and Kohli is Kohli. RCB’s full squad for IPL 2024: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyyash Prabhudesai, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Sourav Chauhan, Swapnil Singh. , Vijaykumar Vishak, Akash Deep, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.
IPL 2024: “He will answer everyone with his bat” – Aakash Chopra said about Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan had scored 454 runs in IPL 2023. Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Ahead of IPL 2024, famous cricket commentator Aakash Chopra expects the Mumbai Indians duo, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma to form a strong opening partnership. Kishan impressed everyone with his performances in IPL 2023, scoring 454 runs in 15 innings that season at a respectable average of 30.27 and a strike rate of 142.76. In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80. Chopra’s pre-season rankings have Yashasvi Jaiswal-Jos Buttler and Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway as the top-2 opening pairs for IPL 2024, while Kishan-Rohit are at number three in that list. Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team. In such a situation, as soon as the IPL season starts, all eyes will be on the opening pair of Mumbai Indians who will rock the stage and stake their claim on the international stage. Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”

Jay Shah, Roger Binny and selectors need to talk to Ishan Kishan- Sourav Ganguly
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said that BCCI secretary Jay Shah, president Roger Binny and the national team selectors should talk to Kishan. Ganguly, who is Delhi Capitals’ director of cricket, said all the players selected at DC have participated in India’s three major domestic tournaments – Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He told that senior player Ishant Sharma has also played Ranji Trophy this year. BCCI officials need to talk to Ishaan- Sourav Ganguly “For a player like Ishan Kishan, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, president Roger Binny and the selectors need to talk to him,” Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by Times of India. During this time he played Ranji and then white ball cricket. Has this made him a poor player? It’s not like that.” Ganguly said that this matter needs to be handled seriously and he should now talk to Ishaan. All the players selected in Delhi Capitals have played Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Ranji Trophy. Even Ishant Sharma has played Ranji. Speaking about workload management, Ganguly said that only fast bowlers need to manage their workload, why do batsmen need workload management? I can understand that Bumrah was rested, Jimmy Anderson has played more than 160 Tests. What workload are you talking about at the beginning of your career? I still maintain that the standard of Indian cricket is excellent.
IND vs ENG: Team management will give another chance to Rajat Patidar to save his test career
However, despite having uncapped Devdutt Padikkal in their team, India may reportedly give Rajat Patidar another chance for the fifth Test against England in Dharamsala. A BCCI source was quoted by the Indian Express as saying,“The team wants Patidar to get another chance because they feel Patidar has the talent and it is only a matter of time before he scores runs. Since India has already won the series, the team wants to try Devdutt Padikkal once more instead of giving him a debut. BCCI had recently announced that KL Rahul has not yet fully recovered from his quadriceps injury and will not be able to play the last Test of the series. Due to Rahul’s absence, Patidars have been getting more opportunities and the same can be seen in Dharamshala.

First class cricket and IPL can be played together – Sourav Ganguly’s big statement
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has highlighted the importance of balancing red-ball and white-ball cricket among young players. The former BCCI president, who currently serves as the Director of Cricket of Delhi Capitals, expressed concern over his exclusion from Ranji Trophy matches in preparation for the Indian Premier League (IPL). He emphasized that budding cricketers need experience in both the formats to hone their skills effectively. Ganguly, an important figure in Indian cricket, said that the neglect of red-ball cricket is contrary to the norms followed by players in the past. He instilled confidence in the BCCI to address this matter appropriately. First class cricket and IPL can be played together – Sourav Ganguly “He can play both red ball and white ball,” Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by Times of India. Along with a stint in first class cricket, there can also be an IPL career. IPL starts one month after first class cricket ends. I don’t see any problem. Many top quality players play Test cricket and white ball cricket. You look at Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.” He further said, “On the world stage, there is Mitchell Marsh. He is now Australia’s leading red-ball player. Harry Brook plays cricket with the red ball. David Warner played a lot of Test cricket but he was one of the best white ball players. Even in my days, Sachin, Rahul and I played Test cricket and then played white-ball cricket. There is no reason to say that you can play one format and not the other.” Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were dropped from BCCI’s central contract for not playing first class cricket. Kishan, who took a break due to personal reasons during the South Africa tour, recently returned to action in the DY Patil T20 tournament. On the other hand, despite being declared fit by the NCA, Iyer did not play for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy.

Let Rishabh get the approval on March 5, only then we will talk about the captaincy backup. We are taking a cautious approach with him because he has a very long career ahead of him. We do not want to be in any kind of hurry regarding it. The former captain further said, “We will see how Rishabh reacts. He will join the camp after getting approval from NCA. We will take it match by match. We can’t predict, Kumar is sharp as far as wicketkeeping options are concerned. Ricky Bhui has had a very good season. There are Shai Hope and Tristan Stubbs who can fill that role.
