Young Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was promoted to the role of T20Is vice-captain on Monday for the three-match home series against the West Indies starting February 16.

Meanwhile, Sundar has been ruled out with a hamstring strain and Kuldeep Yadav has been named as his replacement.
Earlier, Axar Patel was ruled out after recently recovering from Covid-19 in the final stages of his recovery. All three will head to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for further management.
The All India Senior Selection Committee appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad and Deepak Hooda as replacements for Rahul and Axar.
India entered the T20I series with a 3-0 victory over Kieron Pollard’s men. All three games of the series will be played behind closed doors at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

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.
