Elite Group Match of Ranji Trophy held in Patna
The elite group match of the Ranji Trophy took place in Patna after a long time. The first day of the match between Bihar and Mumbai was played on Friday. Despite the poor condition of the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, a large crowd gathered to watch the match. This was mainly because Mumbai’s team included renowned players like Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni, Sarfaraz Khan, and Shivam Dube.
Disappointment as Ajinkya Rahane doesn’t play
Ajinkya Rahane, who has a considerable fan following, was expected to play against Bihar. However, the disappointment was evident when it was revealed that he would not be playing in the match. Instead, Mumbai’s Bhagador Shams Mulani was given the opportunity. Despite this, the spectators remained in the stadium, eagerly waiting for the match to begin.
Reasons behind Ajinkya Rahane’s absence
The absence of Ajinkya Rahane in the match raised many speculations. Some claimed that he refused to play after seeing the poor condition of the stadium. However, it was later revealed that he had a minor injury on his shoulder, which required rest for a better recovery. This decision was taken to ensure that he is fit to play in Mumbai’s upcoming important matches.
पटना के सच्चिदानंद में रणजी के एलिट ग्रुप का मुकाबला हुआ, जिसमें बिहार और मुम्बई टीमों के बीच पहले दिन का मैच खेला गया। इस मुकाबले में मुम्बई की टीम में खेलने वाले अंजिक्य रहाणे और धवल कुलकर्णी जैसे नामचीन खिलाड़ी शामिल थे। लेकिन अजिंक्य रहाणे ने इस मैच में नहीं खेला और इसका कारण उनकी गर्दन में चोट थी। इसके बावजूद भी स्टेडियम में भारी भीड़ आई थी और लोगों ने उनका स्वागत किया। अजिंक्य रहाणे ने ग्राउंड पर आकर लोगों का अभिवादन स्वीकार किया और ऑटोग्राफ भी दिया। उन्होंने इस मैच में आराम किया था ताकि चोट की रिकवरी अच्छे से हो सके और आगामी मैच में वो कप्तान के रूप में खेल सकें।
