Ajinkya Rahane will captain Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai in the upcoming Irani Cup against the Rest of India. The match marks Shardul Thakur’s return to First-Class cricket after surgery. Key players like Shreyas Iyer, Musheer Khan, Shams Mulani, and Tanush Kotian are expected to feature, but Sarfaraz Khan’s participation remains uncertain due to his potential inclusion in the India squad for the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh.
