Watch: Ajinkya Rahane falls to Paras Dogra's stunning one-handed catch in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 clash

The Jammu and Kashmir cricket team is on fire with the ball, as Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai lost seven wickets for just 101 runs on Day 2 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 clash at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC in Mumbai on Friday (January 24).

Jammu and Kashmir bowlers have been the highlights of this match so far. However, Rohit Sharma’s outburst against the bowlers for a couple of overs and ball change drama shifted the spotlight to the Indian skipper for a little time at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC.

On the first delivery of the 27th over, Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umar Nazir Mir delivered a full ball outside the off stump. Ajinkya Rahane tried to drive the ball but ended up playing an aerial shot between mid-off and cover. Paras Dogra, who was positioned at mid-off, quickly ran to his left and made an impressive full stretch to catch the ball, staying in mid-air.

The Jammu and Kashmir captain managed to pull off a superb one-handed catch to ensure the former Indian Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane's exit for just 16 runs off 36 balls in the ongoing Ranji clash between Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC.
