Watch: KL Rahul fumes at Rishabh Pant after both left shockingly stranded at same end; South Africa mess up easy run-out

South Africa missed a good chance to knock out India captain KL Rahul in their second ODI in Paarl when Keshav Maharaj and Andile Phehlukwayo screwed up the catch. The incident came in the final ball of the 15th inning, after a horrific scuffle that saw Pant and Rahul stuck at the same end, but South Africa failed to influence the out.

Miscommunication ensues when Pant shoves the ball from Keshav Maharaj to the close center outfielder. Seeing the Pant take off, Rahul was on his way to the other end, although neither batsman made eye contact with the other. Rahul was at wicket in the second half and Pant decided to go back, and in that moment both batsmen were at the end of the striker. Shockingly, an opportunity that could have been achieved 11 times out of 10 ran out and South Africa managed to slip. Bowler Maharaj failed to catch Bavuma’s pitch at the non-forward end and, to make matters worse, midfielder Phehlukwayo couldn’t support well. Phehlukwayo stopped the ball but didn’t catch it. The conceded ball was followed by another rollover that saw Phehlukwayo miss possession. Surprisingly, there was also no coordination among the South African outfielders. For South Africa, it was an opportunity on the platter as neither Rahul nor Pant knew the ball had not been collected properly. Rahul almost gave up, and Pant’s face turned completely to the other side. It wasn’t until Rahul looked back and realized that the ball was not in anyone’s hands that he decided to run back and survive a very unlikely situation.

Sure enough, Captain India was displeased, said a few words to Pant, and gave him a cold look. How relaxing. India were 70/2 at the time, with Pant and Rahul adding just six points after Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli’s wickets went down in quick succession.

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.
