WATCH: Rishabh Pant’s shot selection leaves Virat Kohli fuming in 3rd ODI vs SA, reaction goes viral

Rishabh Pant has often come under fire for his irresponsible batting, and in the third and final ODI against South Africa in Cape Town, India lost by four points. The goalkeeper batsman, batting at a crucial stage in 288 chases, was dismissed by a golden duck to allow South Africa to climb back into the game.

Trying to find big hits from the start, Pant fell into deep cover on the first delivery he faced, and it didn’t go well with fans. Former India captain Virat Kohli, who was present at the other end, was also unhappy with Pant’s decision. As Pant walked back to the pavilion, Kohli said nothing but kept his eyes on the 24-year-old, who threw away his wicket and hit an unnecessary ball.

The incident occurred in the 23rd round of a bat by Andile Phehlukwayo. Pant’s dismissal came after India also lost a set batsman Shikhar Dhawan. Dhawan (61 of 73) added 98 for the second wicket with the former India captain.

Keshav Maharaj also removed Kohli in 65 of 84 deliveries shortly after the incident. The mid-range, consisting of Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer, also lacked firepower, and were dismissed on the 26th and 34th respectively.

Deepak Chahar had some fights in the closing stages, hitting 34 overs 54 as India went all out for 283 overs in 49.2 overs.

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.
