Ranji Trophy: J&K Beat Mumbai By Five Wickets After A Decade
Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy: Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on Saturday defeated the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai by five wickets at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC. This was J&K’s second win in Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, repeating their feat of 2014-15 when they had taken down the domestic heavyweights with a four-wicket win by chasing down 237 at Wankhede Stadium.
Despite Shardul Thakur’s valiant century in Mumbai’s second innings, J&K displayed remarkable resilience to chase down the 205-run target on Day 3, securing the top position in Elite Group A.
Mumbai's second innings began under pressure after conceding an 86-run lead to J&K in the first innings. Skipper Rohit Sharma, making his Ranji Trophy comeback after over nine years, looked aggressive and struck a couple of boundaries and three sixes in his 35-ball 28. However, Yudhvir Singh dismissed him, and Mumbai’s batting faltered yet again.
