Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir Live Updates, Ranji Trophy Day 2: Mumbai Aim To Bounce Back

Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir Live Updates, Ranji Trophy Day 2: Jammu and Kashmir will aim to extend their lead over Mumbai on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy game at Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai. India skipper Rohit Sharma's poor form in red-ball cricket continued as he fell for a 19-ball 3 before Mumbai conceded a first-innings lead against Jammu and Kashmir in their Elite Group A match in the Ranji Trophy on Thursday. Electing to bat on a green-top wicket proved costly for the Ajinkya Rahane-led side as Mumbai were shot out for a mere 120, and in reply, J&K finished the opening day's play at 174/7 for a lead of 54 runs. As many as 17 wickets fell in the day's play. Shardul Thakur saved Mumbai some blushes as his 57-ball 51 with five fours and two sixes dragged them from a perilous 47/7 past the 100-run mark.

"Going To Put Stress On Virat Kohli, For His Wife...": Amid BCCI's Diktat, 'More Off-Field Drama' Exposed

Former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg said that star India batter Virat Kohli's poor performance in recent times could be because of "drama off the field" more than things happening on the field and added that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s new policy on families during international tours could put more stress on the veteran batter. Virat, who could just make 190 runs in 10 innings during the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, was among players who came under scrutiny after the 1-3 series loss to Australia. Virat ended the last year with just 655 international runs in 23 matches and 32 innings, averaging 21.83, with a century and two fifties to his name. His best score was 100*.
