Fans troll Ajinkya Rahane for his poor form in Ranji Trophy 2024
Fans trolled Ajinkya Rahane for his poor form in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024 for Mumbai. The experienced batter has been going through a lean patch in the ongoing tournament and has not been able to contribute to the team in any capacity. It has frustrated the fans to the core who want to see him back in the Indian team.
In the WTC 2023 final, Rahane last appeared for India. Although he was impressive with a score of 90 in the first innings and a 30 odd in the second innings, Rahane was not picked for the series following it. India seems to have moved on from him, as the experienced batter did not feature in the series against the West Indies, South Africa, and England.
However, the fans were angry with the fact that the star batter was left out of the series. The furious nature of the fans led them to claim that the right-handed batter would certainly return to the Indian squad by performing in the Ranji Trophy 2024 for Mumbai. But it does not seem to be a good tournament with the bat for Rahane, who has struggled to score a single hundred for Mumbai.
Poor performance in the quarterfinal against Baroda
His struggles in the Ranji Trophy continued even in the quarterfinal match against Baroda. Batting first, Mumbai scored 384 runs. Rahane was poor with the bat again as he was dismissed for just 3(13). His dismissal paved the way for the great innings of the U19 World Cup 2024 hero Musheer Khan, who scored a double hundred and shined with the bat. He did not have a good 2nd inning either.
As Baroda replied with a score of 348 runs, Mumbai got off to a decent start before Rahane got a chance to bat for the 2nd time. In the 2nd inning, he had a worse outing. The 35-year-old registered a 4-ball duck and became the scapegoat of the anger of the fans. The Mumbai batter has been trolled on social media by the fans, who believe that his time is up in cricket.
The Janakpur Bolts clinched a playoff berth in the Nepal Premier League following a decisive victory over the Kathmandu Gurkhas. In a low-scoring encounter, the Gurkhas set a modest target of 102 runs, with their batting lineup struggling against the disciplined Bolts’ bowling attack. Sushan Bhari led the charge, taking crucial wickets and restricting the opposition’s scoring opportunities.
The Bolts chased the target with composure, showcasing strong batting performances from their top order. Opener Arjun Saud played a steady innings, while other batters ensured no major collapses en route to victory. This win solidifies Janakpur’s position in the league standings and marks their entry into the playoffs, where they will look to maintain their momentum.
For Kathmandu Gurkhas, the loss is a significant setback, leaving them on the brink of elimination. The team’s inability to capitalize on key moments, particularly in their batting, highlighted their struggles in the tournament.
With their playoff spot secured, the Bolts have demonstrated consistency and resilience, making them strong contenders for the title. Fans eagerly anticipate their upcoming matches as the tournament heads into its decisive stages.
Karnali Yaks posted 128/7 in 20 overs against Lumbini Lions in their Nepal Premier League clash. Contributions from the middle order, especially Sharad Vesawkar (30 runs) and Sunil Dhamala (25 runs), helped stabilize the innings after a shaky start. Lumbini Lions bowlers, led by Sompal Kami and Lalit Rajbanshi, kept Karnali’s scoring in check with disciplined bowling.
The Lions now face a manageable chase to secure their second win of the season.
Kathmandu Gurkhas, after opting to bat first, set Janakpur Bolts a modest target of 102 runs in their ongoing Nepal Premier League (NPL) match. Kathmandu’s innings ended at 101/10 in 19.3 overs. They struggled throughout, with only Gerhard Erasmus (20) and Stephen Eskinazi (17) offering resistance. The rest of the batting line-up faltered, with notable contributions from Karan KC (19) and Shahab Alam (8*).
Janakpur’s bowlers dominated, with Lalit Rajbanshi and Sher Malla both taking three wickets each, while Mohammad Mohsin added two. The Bolts are now tasked with chasing a relatively low total to secure the win.
