Ajinkya Rahane ka Ranji Trophy se withdrawal, Mumbai ki mushkil
Ajinkya Rahane ne Mumbai Cricket Association ko bataya hai ki woh Ranji Trophy 2025-26 ke liye unavailable hain, personal reasons ki wajah se. January 22 se shuru hone wale Elite series mein Mumbai ko Hyderabad ke khilaf khelna hai, par Rahane ke bina. Team ko ab inexperienced players par bharosa karna padega, kyunki Shreyas Iyer aur Suryakumar Yadav T20I series mein busy hain.
