The contentious removal of Rohit Sharma emphasizes MI skipper in full astonishment due to UltraEdge glitch

After Kolkata Knight Riders were restricted to 165 for nine, Jasprit Bumrah’s superb and record-breaking five-wicket haul offered an already eliminated Mumbai Indians a chance at a third consecutive win. Mumbai were hoping for a good start in Navi Mumbai on Monday night before being stung by a contentious dismissal that left MI captain Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team stunned. In the absence of an injured Suryakumar Yadav, Mumbai were unable to recover from Rohit’s early and disputed departure, losing by 52 runs to suffer their ninth defeat of the season.

When KKR pacer Tim Southee delivered a scrambled-seam delivery, pitched shot of length, Rohit looked to tuck the ball to the leg side, the event occurred in the first over of Mumbai’s chase of 166. The ball, however, bounced off his thighs and landed in the palms of diving Sheldon Jackson.

Because the on-field umpire was unsure if there was an inside edge, he sought assistance from the third umpire. The UltraEdge spike was detected, and Rohit was ruled out.

However, footage on the big screen clearly showed that the UltraEdge had significant spikes even before the ball had passed the bat, revealing a serious flaw. Graeme Swann, a former England cricketer who was in the commentary box at the time of Rohit’s departure, said Rohit had been “hard done by.”

Rohit and MI co-owner Akash Ambani were both taken aback by the move.

Despite Ishan Kishan’s valiant 43-ball 41, Mumbai were unable to recover from the early setback.

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.
