Former Indian Test captain Ajinkya Rahane is all set to play for the Mumbai side in the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2022 season. However, he will not be donning the captaincy hat this time. The 33-year-old has been under a lot of criticism after the South Africa Test series for showing inconsistency over the last two years. Meanwhile, Rahane is now sent back to play in the Ranji Trophy to regain his form. However, Rahane will be playing under young captain Prithvi Shaw, who won the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22.
Rahane's captaincy for India has been a huge plus with him yet to lose a Test. Moreover, he has also maintained a 100 percent record in ODIs. His heroic leadership in Australia was a testimony of his skills when things were not going India's way. He proved himself as the ideal candidate to replace Virat Kohli in the Indian Test captaincy role until he lost his batting form. However, the upcoming Ranji season will be a great opportunity for him to get some runs under his belt to hold on to his position on the Indian side.
Ajinkya Rahane has no problem with Prithvi Shaw as the skipper: MCA Official
An MCA official stated that Rahane had been consulted while picking Shaw as the captain. However, Rahane will be mentoring the side as well. In the last few years, the Mumbai side has not got the results in Ranji Trophy as they liked to. The official confirmed that Rahane has no issues with playing under Shaw as the captain. Meanwhile, the squad is likely to be announced in the next two days.
"Captaincy is not important for someone like Ajinkya, who has achieved what was considered to be impossible for a cricket captain."
MCA official was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz
"He has agreed to play as well as mentor the side and help restore the Mumbai glory in domestic cricket. He has no ego issues over the captaincy and has no problem with Shaw as the skipper," the official added.
Rahane will go under the hammer in IPL 2022 mega auction for a base price of INR 1 Crore. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if the veteran gets a buyer despite his inconsistent form at the moment.
The Ranji Trophy 2022 second phase will commence on February 10, 2022.

Batting at number six and arriving at the crease at 30-4 inside the powerplay, Parag bided his time across 49 deliveries to score 50 runs, laced with four fours and two sixes, in Delhi. His innings helped Rajasthan Royals post a respectable 115-9, having once headed for a much worse collapse. The Capitals ended up winning the match by five wickets in 16.1 overs.

Currently, former Australian batter David Warner holds the record for the most fifties (and over) scored in IPL history with 66 fifties.

Huge win for KKR!
Andre Russell delivered the final blow as KKR wrapped up a dominant victory at Eden Gardens. Harshal Patel attempted a wild heave across the line but only managed to send the ball straight up in the air. Russell calmly took the catch, sealing SRH’s crushing defeat.
It was a one-sided affair, with KKR outclassing their opponents in every department. SRH’s batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure, and their chase never gained any real momentum. The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.
This emphatic win will be a massive boost for KKR, not just in points but also in net run rate. Meanwhile, SRH will have plenty to reflect on as they attempt to bounce back from this heavy defeat. KKR win by 80 runs.
Apr 3, 2025, 5:24 PM
Double wicket over from Varun!
Here’s the next part of the summary:
Varun Chakravarthy struck twice in the 16th over, tightening KKR’s grip on the match. Pat Cummins fell first, miscuing a slog straight to long on, leaving SRH reeling at eight down. Simarjeet Singh followed immediately, bowled through the gate by a stunning delivery that spun sharply back in.
With SRH down to their last wicket, Mohammed Shami walked in to join Harshal Patel. Chakravarthy nearly completed a hat-trick, but Shami survived. The required run rate had skyrocketed to 21 runs per over, making SRH’s task nearly impossible.
KKR’s disciplined bowling attack continued to strangle SRH, with Varun and Arora leading the charge. Every dot ball pushed SRH further into desperation, and their chase looked all but over.
Apr 3, 2025, 5:23 PM
KKR closer to win!
Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over as Kamindu Mendis mistimed a pull shot straight to deep midwicket. Aniket Verma walked in and immediately made his presence felt with a classy boundary. However, with SRH needing 129 off the last 10 overs, the pressure was mounting.
Varun Chakravarthy joined the attack in the 11th over and removed Aniket Verma, who miscued a slog to deep midwicket. Pat Cummins arrived at the crease and got off the mark with a cheeky lap shot for four. Klaasen, at the other end, looked determined to take the game deep.
Klaasen took charge in the 14th over, smashing Narine for back-to-back sixes to keep SRH's hopes alive. However, KKR missed a chance to dismiss him when UltraEdge revealed a nick that went unnoticed. With the required run rate soaring past 15, SRH needed something special.
Vaibhav Arora delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over, dismissing Klaasen for 33 with a well-disguised slower bouncer. SRH’s chase took another hit, leaving Cummins and Harshal Patel with an uphill task. Despite some quick singles, the asking rate climbed to an almost impossible 17.4 runs per over.
KKR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Arora and Narine, kept SRH in check. The fall of Klaasen all but sealed the game for KKR, with only tailenders left to chase an improbable 87 off 30 balls. Cummins and Harshal needed a miracle from there.
With the match slipping away, SRH’s batters struggled to find the boundary. KKR’s bowlers maintained tight lines, and the fielders backed them up with sharp work. As the equation worsened, KKR edged closer to sealing a convincing victory at Eden Gardens.
