The seventh round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25 continues, and many leading players of the Indian team are also seen on the field in the second phase matches. Virat Kohli for Delhi and KL Rahul for Karnataka were seen batting, although both could not live up to expectations. Meanwhile, on the second day, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Delhi captain Ayush Badoni failed to achieve it despite being very close to a century.
Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane missed one run on a century in the final group phase of Ranji Trophy on Friday. Playing for Saurashtra, Pujara remained just one run away from the 67th first class century and was dismissed for 99 against Assam. At the same time, Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed for 96 runs against Meghalaya. Rahane faced 177 balls and hit 11 fours and a six.
Both batsmen played important innings for their respective teams. It is necessary to win the match to make Saurashtra and Mumbai a place in the knockout. Delhi captain Ayush Badoni also performed brilliantly, he scored 99 runs in 77 balls against the railway, but he also missed a century by a run like Pujara. Badoni hit 12 fours and three sixes in his innings.
