‘Kohli goes to him quite a bit to bring some energy’: Ex-NZ captain

On Monday, in India’s 1-0 victory over New Zealand in the series, former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori gave a high praise to Indian walker Mohammed Siraj.

In a show on ESPNCricinfo, Vettori analyzed India’s record of 372 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in the second test, supporting his claim that Siraj is “special” because he brings a lot of energy, but not Let it affect his bowling. “Siraj is special. Every time he participates in a test match, something happens. (Virat) Kohli walks up to him and brings some energy, and his pace remains the same. He runs hard and does it from the fast bowler. Everything you want to do,” Vittori said.

He then went on to add that he would not take anything from veteran Ishant Sharma, while insisting that Siraj would be the obvious choice for a trip to South Africa. “This is not to reduce Ishant Sharma’s anything, but I just think the timing is right for people like Siraj to come in and provide something special for the Indian bowling lineup under South African conditions,” Vettori concluded.

So far, Siraj has had an unparalleled impact in his fledgling testing career. In 10 innings, 33 wickets were scored with an average strike rate of 27.69 and 53.8.

He also helped India win a big victory in Mumbai. Missed the first test due to the split of the webbing on his hand, and was injured in the T20I series against the Black Caps. Siraj used all the gun fire to suppress the New Zealander’s batsman in the first game. He returned with a 3/19 stat after 4 rounds, making his opponent’s highest ranking uneasy.

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.
