Do it for Virat Kohli: Suresh Raina’s message to Team India for T20 World Cup

The era of India’s T20I captain will end after the 2021 T20 World Cup, as Virat Kohli will step down in order to focus more on hitting and managing his workload. Keeping this development in mind, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina believes that this is an excellent opportunity for the Indian team to win their first ICC title and kick off his T20 captain style.

So far, the Delhi batsman has led 45 T20 international matches and has a 27-14 win-loss record.

He took the reins from former Indian cricketer MS Dhoni in 2016, who served as the Indian captain in 72 games. Under his leadership, the team won 41 games and lost 28 games. “For India, the message of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is very simple-do it for Virat Kohli. This may be the last time he will participate in this game as a captain, so let everyone believe that we can do it.

He is very important and let us support him,” Reina wrote in an ICC column. “For this reason, Indian fans can’t wait to wait for the start of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. We have players, we have motivation – we just need to do it now,” Rainer explained. At the same time, Raina believes that Indian players participating in the IPL in the UAE can help them during the World Cup. “All of our players have just played the Indian Premier League in the UAE.

They played eight or nine games in this environment and played their best form. “This gives India an advantage over all other teams and makes them one of the favorites in my opinion to win the T20 World Cup,” he said. “The situation in the UAE is very similar to our games in India and Pakistan. This is a good opportunity for Asian teams to play natural games.”

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.
