Key takeaways

  • Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored 114
  • Musheer Khan scored 109
  • Mumbai reached 290/3 in 82 overs

Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Musheer Khan scored hundreds to put Mumbai in a commanding position against Haryana on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the MCA’s Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy ground. Mumbai reached 290 for three in 82 overs when bad light brought an early end to play, despite a half-hour extension. Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and one six, while Musheer scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and one six. Their second-wicket partnership yielded 208 runs. Haryana captain Ankit Kumar had elected to field first, hoping the fresh pitch would assist his pace attack, but his bowlers struggled to contain the two youngsters after an early breakthrough.

Innings details

Divyaansh Saxena departed early, attempting an on-the-up drive off Aman Kumar, and was trapped in front for 10. Raghuvanshi began cautiously before settling into his stroke-making mode; his first boundary, a straight drive off Ajith Chahal on the 27th ball he faced, signalled a change of gears. Musheer unsettled the bowlers with his willingness to step out of the crease. Both batters stuck to conventional strokeplay, driving with finesse whenever the bowlers pitched the ball up, and added cuts and sweeps against spin as the scoreboard moved at close to four runs an over. Shortly before tea, Raghuvanshi reached his three-figure mark and then nicked Samant Jakhar behind. Musheer brought up his hundred after the break with a single off offie Kanishk Chauhan. Musheer was dismissed leg-before to Anuj Thakral soon afterwards, bringing elder brother Sarfaraz to the crease. Sarfaraz negotiated the final hour comfortably alongside captain Siddhesh Lad. The scores were Divyaansh Saxena lbw b Aman 10, Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Dalal b Jakhar 114, Musheer Khan lbw b Thakral 109, Siddhesh Lad batting 29, Sarfaraz Khan batting 21, with extras of 7 from five byes and two wides. Haryana bowling figures were Aman 14-6-40-1, Ajit 15-1-44-0, Thakral 13-1-55-1, Sindhu 9-0-51-0, Jakhar 8-1-25-1, Chouhan 20-1-59-0, Vats 3-0-11-0.
