Split screen shows Ajinkya Rahane’s dismissal. (JioCinema)
Ajinkya Rahane was just three runs away from reaching another first-class century when he was dismissed in Irani Cup.
Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane missed out on a century by just three runs in the morning session of the Day 2 of Irani Cup 2024 currently underway in Lucknow. Resuming on his overnight total of 86, the India cricketer added 11 more runs before losing his wicket to Rest of India (RoI) fast bowler Yash Dayal.
As gritty as Rahane’s innings was, his dismissal was equally strange. A sharp bouncer from Dayal which was aimed at Rahane’s body saw the Mumbai skipper take an evasive action but his efforts were in vain as the ball kissed his glove before being pouched by the wicketkeeper.
The RoI fielders let out a hopeful appeal but the on-field umpire turned it down before captain Ruturaj Gaikwad successfully reviewed it.
It was Rahane who combined with Sarfaraz Khan on Day 1 of the competition to revive Mumbai innings after they were jolted by early blows from Mukesh Kumar.
