In spirit, they are 'guru bhais', having learnt their lessons under the iconic Ramakant Achrekar. Both know how it feels to lay hands on the silverware. When the final of the Ranji Trophy starts at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday morning, one can be forgiven for thinking that it is being played between two Mumbai sides.
Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw trolled his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal after the latter took 54 balls to score his first run in the side's ongoing Ranji Trophy semi-final match against Uttar Pradesh in Bengaluru. The duo started the second innings of Mumbai on Thursday on contrasting notes as Shaw raced to his half-century on the 56th ball off his innings, while his fellow batter Jaiswal failed to get his first run despite playing almost equal number of balls.
Wicket-keeper batter Hardik Tamore hogged the limelight with a stroke-filled 115 to propel Mumbai to 393 in their first innings on the second day of their Ranji Trophy semifinal against Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. In reply, Uttar Pradesh were reeling at 25 for two at stumps, having lost opener Samarth Singh (0) and Priyam Garg (5) early. While the first day belonged to young Mumbai opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had hammered his second first-class hundred, it was Tamore show on Wednesday at the Just Academy ground.

Continuing his good form, left-handed batter Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a responsible hundred to propel Mumbai to 260/5 on the first day of their Ranji Trophy semifinal against Uttar Pradesh here on Tuesday. Oozing with confidence, Jaiswal, who struck his maiden first-class hundred in the quarterfinal against Uttarakhand, anchored the innings, after the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions suffered a top-order failure. Jaiswal was the cynosure of eyes as he took a formidable UP attack to task and struck 15 boundaries in his 227-ball 100.
Rajasthan Royals will be eyeing their second Indian Premier League title when they take on Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. After finishing seventh last season, RR retained the just three players -- Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal -- heading into the mega auction. The Royals then had a busy auction, acquiring the likes of Shimron Hetmyer (Rs 8.5 crore), Trent Boult (Rs 8 crore), Yuzvendra Chahal (Rs 6.5 crore), Prasidh Krishna (Rs 10 crore) among others.
