Suryakumar, Dube to Boost Mumbai in Ranji Q-Final

Mumbai’s Ranji Hopes Pinned on Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube

The latest sports updates from the Ranji Trophy reveal that several top Indian cricketers recently participated in the tournament after a long break. This decision followed a mandate from the BCCI, requiring domestic cricket participation for all players. While big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja featured in the matches, only Ravindra Jadeja made a significant impact.

Mumbai’s Quarter-Final Clash Against Haryana

Mumbai’s team for the quarter-final against Haryana, starting February 8th at the Chaudhary Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium in Lahli, will include India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav and all-rounder Shivam Dube. Both players have represented Mumbai in recent Ranji matches. Suryakumar played against Maharashtra in October, while Dube was part of the Mumbai team that faced a disappointing loss to J&K at home last month. That team also featured Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Chief Selector’s Expectations

Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil has expressed his expectations from Yadav and Dube for the crucial knockout match. He emphasized the need for the players not just to participate, but to perform well and contribute to Mumbai’s victory. Patil’s comments came in the wake of Mumbai’s upsetting loss to J&K, a match that saw six India players in the lineup.

Focus on Performance and Winning Contributions

Patil voiced his disappointment over the loss to J&K, calling it Mumbai’s worst ever. He highlighted the fact that accommodating the India players in that match meant leaving out talented youngsters like opener Ayush Mhatre. Patil stressed that the culture of Mumbai cricket has always been about giving 100% and contributing to the team’s success. He wants the players to realize that simply being ‘available’ for the game is not enough. They need to perform and help Mumbai win. The upcoming match against Haryana offers both Yadav and Dube a chance to prove their worth and contribute to a much-needed victory for Mumbai.

Mumbai’s Squad for Quarter-Final

The Mumbai squad for the quarter-final includes: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Ayush Mhatre, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Amogh Bhatkal, Suryakumar Yadav, Siddhesh Lad, Shivam Dube, Akash Anand (wicketkeeper), Hardik Tamore (wicketkeeper), Suryansh Shedge, Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Mohit Avasthi, Sylvester D’Souza, Royston Dias, Atharva Ankolekar, and Harsh Tanna.

This match is crucial for Mumbai, and the performance of key players like Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube will be vital to their success. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if they can deliver and help Mumbai advance in the Ranji Trophy.
