Ranji Trophy: Ajinkya Rahane's rescue act for self and Mumbai

Saurashtra on day one of their Ranji Trophy match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rescuing Mumbai from a point where Saurashtra looked to be all over them after reducing them to 44 for three, Ajinkya Rahane (108 not out, 250b, 14x4, 2x6) and Sarfaraz Khan slammed superb centuries (121 not out, 219b, 15x4, 2x6), adding 219 for their fourth wicket alliance in 448 balls to take the 41-time champs to 263 for three by stumps. If the first hour was won by Saurashtra, in which their captain Jaydev Unadkat took Mumbai skipper Prithvi Shaw’s scalp, Rahane and Sarfaraz’s magnificent knocks ensured that the day belonged to Mumbai. Giving his best shot to ensure that he gets one more lifeline by the selectors for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka at home, Rahane — under tremendous pressure to retain his place in the side — did well to shrug off his prolonged poor form by stroking his 36th first-class century- perhaps a career-saving knock. It was his first hundred in any format since his match-winning 112 against Australia at Melbourne in the Boxing Day Test in December 2020.

ISL: Jamshedpur win five-goal thriller against Mumbai City FC

Jamshedpur FC snatched an injury-time winner to climb a rung to the third spot on the Indian Super League table with a 3-2 victory against Mumbai City FC in Bambolim on Thursday.

Jamshedpur have 28 points, one less than the teams above them.
