IPL Retention: ‘At one time, Chennai and he were hand in hand, no longer’

The defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) announced on Tuesday that they had included MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Ruturaj Gaikwad on their IPL reserve list before the big IPL 2022 auction. This means that they have released players like Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis, but this decision has not been welcomed by everyone. This also includes Aakash Chopra, who said that “Chennai and Suresh Raina” used to go hand in hand.

In analyzing the retention rate of all eight existing franchises, former India opener Chopra said that in the IPL, “emotions have become a slightly redundant burden”. “Faf du Plessis, Sam Curran, Josh Hazlewood, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Chinna Thala) did not exist. Once, Chennai and Suresh Raina held hands, no longer. When it comes to IPL, emotion has become a slightly redundant burden.

“CSK had to keep Dhoni with them, and they did it. With him were Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad-so they kept three Indians. An overseas player is Moeen Ali and we have discussed this. It may be four names,” Chopra. Raina quipped, also affectionately known as’Chinna Thala’ and’Mr. IPL’, and has always been a loyal member of the franchise. In addition, his achievements in tournament history are invaluable to the team. In fact, he is currently the fourth-highest base runner in all IPLs, with 5528 runs.

On the other hand, what is shocking is that South African player Du Plessis ranked second in the 2021 IPL competition with 633 games and played an important role in helping Chennai win the fourth IPL championship. After a few months, he was ignored. There are rumors that CSK confused between him and Ali, but they were put on hold on Tuesday.

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.
