The first leg of the Ranji Trophy 2025 just finished up. Mumbai sits at the top right now along with Bengal, Karnataka, and Vidarbha. Five rounds are done and some players put on real shows out there. Yash Dhull and Rinku Singh were the standout names from this week basically.
White-ball cricket is coming up next after this break ends. Teams will shift their focus to limited-overs stuff for a while. But these red-ball matches gave us plenty of drama already.
Yash Dhull Fights Alone for Delhi in 2025
Delhi is having a terrible season in the Ranji Trophy 2025 right now. They haven’t won even one match yet which hurts badly. But Yash Dhull is doing everything he can as their captain. He scored 189 runs against Rajasthan and almost carried them single-handedly there.
His bat had 27 fours and 2 sixes in that long innings. Delhi managed to draw the match thanks to Yash Dhull staying at the crease. The problem is that nobody else in that team is scoring runs. He’s literally their only hope every time they play in 2025.
Other batters need to wake up and help Yash Dhull out here. The guy deserves teammates who can share the load with him.
Rinku Singh Turns Things Around for UP
Uttar Pradesh was in deep trouble against Tamil Nadu before Rinku stepped in. He blasted 176 runs and changed the entire game’s momentum completely. His knock included 17 fours and 6 massive sixes all around. Rinku Singh looked particularly comfortable against the spinners bowling at him.
UP managed to grab a first-innings lead because of this incredible effort. His innings saved crucial points for his team in the tournament. Rinku keeps proving he belongs at the highest level of cricket.
Mumbai Dominates Pondicherry Completely
Mumbai just destroyed Pondicherry by an innings in their match. They’re the top team on the table and it shows clearly. Shardul Thakur bowled really well and got Pondicherry out for 276 runs. Mumbai looks unstoppable in every game they play this season.
Bengal and Assam played out a draw in their fixture recently. Himachal tried but couldn’t get past Chhattisgarh in the end either. J&K won their match while Railways also grabbed a victory in this round. Karnataka added another win to their tally as well.
The Ranji Trophy keeps giving us exciting cricket week after week.
