Fans hail ‘Superman’ Buttler as he takes ‘insane’ catch in 2nd Ashes Test

Jos Butler received the ball with one hand and England attacked early on the opening day of the Adelaide Pink Ball Test on Thursday. After Australia chose to hit the ball in the second test of the series, Stuart Broad scored the first blood and the England goalkeeper made a brilliant dive to his right.

James Anderson and Stuart Broad-they were both brought back in the second test-made a controlled start, and Broad had earlier received Harris comments on England. However, on this occasion, Butler ensured that there was no need for a review, because he made a huge leap behind the wicket, allowing the England team to make a breakthrough.

Broad hit the ball on the side of the leg, Harris tried to ease the boundary, aiming to pull the ball through the goalkeeper and the leg groove, but failed to grasp the timing of the shot. A rough edge took place, and Butler made no mistake behind the wicket. Earlier, Australia’s test captain Pat Cummins was excluded from the second game on the first morning because he was in close contact with a positive Covid case at a restaurant in Adelaide. Steve Smith leads in the absence of Cummins.

This is Smith’s first game as the Australian Test captain since the infamous game in Cape Town in 2018. He was suspended for ball tampering charges along with David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.

Michael Neser replaced Cummins in Australia XI, which is still the only change for the host. At the same time, England played with five Pacers.

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.
