Watch: Virat Kohli Pulls Kagiso Rabada’s Bouncer To Collect “Rare” Six In The Series Decider In Cape Town

Virat Kohli hit a “rare” six on the first day of the ongoing third Test match between India and South Africa in Cape Town. During his gritty 79 overs, the Indian red captain hit 12 fours and one six. According to prominent statistician Mohandas Menon, it was also Kohli’s fifth six in a cricket Test since 2019. Menon also went on to add that batsmen Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal and Rishabh Pant have had very different fortunes compared to Kohli. During the same period, Rohit hit 51 sixes, Mayank hit 25 and Pant hit 18 max.

India were knocked out in the first inning as most of the batsmen were disappointed except for captain Kohli. KL Rahul smashed a ton in the first Test and could only add 12 points to the scoreboard.

His opening partner Mayank also added 15 runs for 35 balls.

Under fire Cheteshwar Pujara missed the half-century beard, smashing 43 of 77 balls.

Ajinkya Rahane’s poor form continued as he only managed nine runs from 12 balls.

Labada is at his best in South Africa and has taken four wickets in 22 rounds. Marco Jansen also sacked 3 people, Duanne Olivier, Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj were sacked each.

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.
