India Predicted XI vs South Africa 3rd ODI: KL Rahul likely to make multiple changes in dead rubber

As they stare at an embarrassing sweep on South African soil, India will be looking to make corrections in both divisions and change the starting 11 with multiple changes in their third and final ODI in Cape Town. Under KL Rahul, India’s bowling team looked out of sync, failing to pick up wickets in crucial moments and failing to maintain momentum in midfield. In the first two overs, the bowlers managed to pick seven wickets with seasoned picks such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar looking toothless against opponents. Ashwin has so far failed to make an impact, which could allow management to test someone like Jayant Yadav in the final. The 32-year-old Yadav’s only 50 for India was at home against New Zealand in 2016. The head coach also has a wealth of speed bowling resources. Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini and Deepak Chahar have been waiting for their first match of the series and the Cape Town race could open the door for the speed trio. Prasidh Krishna is also a convenient but relatively inexperienced option. It remains to be seen whether the change in team management strategy will result in a major change in Eleven bowling. While the dull bowling camp needs some adjustment, India’s middle class also needs a shakeup. Skipper KL Rahul’s experience in South Africa might be called anti-climate as he starts the Test series with a hundred. His long-term future as a leader is at stake, and he could potentially return to the middle class. Virat Kohli may have scored 51 points in Game 1, but it was evident his lack of energy on the field after leaving the ODI leadership.

The two Iyers – Shreyas and Venkatesh – have also failed to make significant contributions so far, adding to India’s middling woes, which have been the team’s Achilles heel since the 2019 ODI World Cup.

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.
