BCCI president Sourav Ganguly tests positive for coronavirus in Kolkata

Sourav Ganguly, Chairman of the Cricket Control Council of India (BCCI), tested positive for the novel coronavirus in Kolkata and has been confirmed. According to “India Today”, the former Indian captain has been sent to the Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata with mild symptoms.
The doctor did not want to take risks with the legendary cricketer, so he decided to hospitalize him on Monday night. His blood sample will undergo genome sequencing to determine if he is infected with the Omicron variant.
On December 24th, Sourav Ganguly attended the premiere of Tonic, the latest film of the Bengal superstar and TMC MP Dev, and appeared alongside celebrities such as Nusrat, Yash, Babul Supriyo, TMC MLA Madan Mitra.
“He was taken to the Woodlands Nursing Home last night. He has received medication and is currently in a stable condition,” PTI quoted a BCCI source as saying.
This is Ganguly’s third hospitalization this year after being hospitalized twice due to chest discomfort in January this year. Ganguly suffered a heart attack while exercising at his home in Kolkata and underwent right coronary angioplasty.
The second round of angioplasty was performed on January 28. During this process, two stents were placed in the two arteries.
Ganguly returned to work in March and fully vaccinated herself against Covid-19. Earlier this year, his brother Snehasish Ganguly also tested positive for Covid-19.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
