Watch: Yash Thakur's insane delivery leaves Prithvi Shaw clueless in Ranji Trophy final

India batter Prithvi Shaw didn’t make the kind of impact he would’ve wanted in the ongoing final of the Ranji Trophy 2023-24. The summit clash of the elite tournament is taking between Mumbai and Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium. 

Mumbai are in the driver’s seat in the ongoing Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha. After posting a total of 224 runs, they bundled out the opposition for just 105 runs, taking a massive lead of over 100 runs in the first innings of the big final at the Wankhede Stadium. 

In the second innings it was expected that, with an advantage in their bag, Mumbai would bat freely and play aggressively. But that hasn’t been the case. Vidarbha bowlers have bowled sensationally well in the game and troubled Mumbai batters a lot with the new ball. 

Prithvi Shaw looked good in the start but he perished to the brilliance of Yash Thakur in the second innings. The Vidarbha pacer bowled a sensational delivery to which the batter had no clue and was forced to take a long walk back to the pavilion, ending the game on a disappointing note. 

Yash Thakur bowled a 133.4kph delivery that was seaming in. He pitched the ball on a good length and Prithvi Shaw tried to defend from the crease without accounting for the movement off the deck. The ball through the gate, sneaking through the bat-pad gap to crash into the stumps.

Prithvi Shaw managed just 11 runs off 18 balls in the second innings. He managed just one boundary in his innings. His wicket saw Mumbai losing the first wicket for 26 runs. The batter didn’t have the kind of impact he would have wanted as he didn’t set the stage on fire in the first innings. 

Prithvi Shaw looked in decent touch in the first innings of the game. He played some gorgeous shots in his innings but couldn’t the start that he got. He scored 46 runs off 63 balls to provide his team with a valiant start. He slammed 5 fours in his innings before getting bowled by Harsh Dubey. 

After Prithvi Shaw, Harsh Dubey removes Bhupen Lalwani to take his team off to flier 

After removing Prithvi Shaw, Yash Thakur’s bowling partner Harsh Dubey made sure that he provided his team with another breakthrough. The fast bowler removed Bhupen Lalwani as well to put pressure on the opposition in the big final at the Wankhede Stadium. 

Harsh Dubey bowled a full delivery to which Bhupen Lalwani came down the track and tried to clear the fence. Mohit Kale, who came to the field as a subfielder, dived forward and to his left to grab the catch with both hands. 

He timed his dive perfectly and also ensured that he had his fingers under the ball when his hands hit the ground. With this wicket, Mumbai lost both their openers. Bhupen Lalwani ended with the knock of 18 runs off 38 balls as Mumbai was left tottering at 34/2. The onus will now be on skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Musheer Khan to take the team to a big total.
