KL Rahul and Iyer receive a strong warning from Gavaskar, who says, “Don’t forget there’s a certain…who will return in ODIs.”

India’s current ODI vice-captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the upcoming series against Australia due to injury. This has led to speculations about who will lead the team in his absence. While KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are the frontrunners for the role, former captain Sunil Gavaskar has warned them not to take their position for granted.

Gavaskar said, “There’s a certain somebody who will return in ODIs. So KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, don’t take your position for granted.” He was referring to Virat Kohli, who is currently on a break from cricket and is not part of the ODI squad for the series against Australia.

Gavaskar’s comments have received a mixed response from fans. Some feel that he is right and that Kohli should be given the captaincy role as soon as he is available. Others feel that Rahul and Iyer have earned the right to lead the team and that they should be given a chance to prove themselves.

What do you think? Should Virat Kohli be immediately reinstated as captain when he becomes available?

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.
