Former Mumbai opener Sudhakar Adhikari passed away on Friday. He was 82. Adhikari was a prolific run-getter for Bombay (as it was called those days) and West Zone, and many old-timers feel that he was distinctly unlucky to have not been picked for India in the 1960s, despite having the knack of scoring hundreds against touring sides those days. In 65 first-class games that he played between 1959-71, he amassed 3,779 runs, including 11 centuries, at an average of 40.63.

Shubham Ranjane, carrying forward a three-generation cricketing legacy, transitioned from Mumbai's competitive cricket scene to Major League Cricket in the USA. Inspired by his grandfather, a former India Test player, and his father, who represented India A, Shubham aims for the IPL and the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Mumbai's cricketers continue to 'migrate' to other states.

Shubham Ranjane, a former Mumbai and Rajasthan Royals allrounder, has earned his maiden call-up to the USA national team for a Tri-Series in UAE. This marks a significant achievement for Ranjane, who moved to the US in 2022 seeking more playing opportunities. He joins former Mumbai teammates Saurabh Netravalkar and Harmeet Singh in the US squad.

Two years ago, Shubham Ranjane, who salvaged a draw for Mumbai with a gritty unbeaten 76 while playing in just his second game for them, against Bengal at Nagpur on Friday, took the sort of risk of his life.

Former India Test cricketer Vasant Ranjane passed away in Pune following brief illness. Ranjane made his debut against West Indies and played in only seven Tests.

Former Mumbai allrounder Shubham Ranjane, now representing USA, is reliving nostalgic moments after returning to Mumbai for the T20 World Cup. Excited to play at Wankhede, meet close friend Suryakumar Yadav, and face India, Ranjane calls it a proud, emotional homecoming as family cheers him on.

Usually, taking two wickets against a strong North Zone would leave any 17-year-old bowler with a wide smile. But Jotin Singh's smile had a tinge of nervousness. It was understandable too. The ethnic clash that brought Manipur to knees had affected his preparations for the big assignment -- the Duleep Trophy -- . The crisis is far from over, the tension is still in the air.

Better late than never. The city's wait for the ultimate for m of cricket will be over on Thursday. And what can be a better debut than a match between the two titans of Test cricket -Virat Kohli's India and Steve Smith's Australia. The Gahunje stadium will play host to them in the first Test of the four-match series.
