Sai Sudarshan got injured before the Indian team’s Australian tour. This injury to Sudarshan came in the second test between India vs West Indies played in Delhi, in which Team India was victorious by 7 wickets. Due to this injury, Sudarshan will not be able to be a part of the Tamil Nadu team in the first match of Ranji Trophy against Jharkhand. In the second test, Sudarshan scored 87 runs in the first innings and 39 runs in the second innings.

Sai Sudarshan was injured while fielding on the third day of the India vs West Indies Test. After the shot by John Campbell, the ball hit the chest of Sudarshan, who was fielding at short leg position. He did not field in the remaining innings of West Indies, but came to bat on the fourth day. His injury was not described as serious. N Jagadeesan, who was part of the Indian team against West Indies, may soon join the Tamil Nadu team, but due to injury, Sudarshan may sit out of the first match.

Talking about his performance in the Test series against West Indies, Sai Sudarshan could bat in one innings in the first match, in which he could score only 7 runs. But in the second test he scored 126 runs in both the innings combined. Sudarshan was not selected in any squad for T20 and ODI for the Australian tour.

The Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir match is to be played from 15-18 October, in which Shardul Thakur will be captaining the team. Thakur will replace Ajinkya Rahane, who stepped down from the captaincy of the Mumbai team before the start of the season. Sarfaraz Khan and Shivam Dubey have also got a place in this team.

42-time Ranji champion Mumbai would like to avenge last season’s defeat by defeating Jammu and Kashmir in the very first match. Let us tell you that Delhi has been placed in Elite Group D along with Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Pondicherry.

Shardul Thakur will be the captain

Shardul Thakur will be captaining the Mumbai team in the match against Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from them, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dubey, Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan are also included in this team. All eyes will also be on the Ranji Trophy return of Musheer, who missed most of the matches last season due to a car accident.

Ayush Mhatre, who opened for Chennai Super Kings in IPL and was the captain of India’s Under-19 team, will also be strengthening the batting in the team. A mix of experience and youthful enthusiasm has been created in the Mumbai squad.

Shreyas Iyer not in the team

Shreyas Iyer, who plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket, has not got a chance because he is on a break from red-ball cricket due to a back problem. Suryakumar Yadav is also not a part of this team, who was seen playing in the semi-finals last season.
