  • Ranji Trophy – Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant miss out, Siddharth Desai misses perfect ten


    Highlights from the opening day of the sixth round of matches

    Rohit’s big miss on Ranji return

    Rohit Sharma‘s Ranji Trophy return after nearly 10 years wasn’t as memorable as he’d hoped it would be. His 19-ball vigil brought him 3, and he was out caught off the leading edge while attempting a half-nudge, half-pull into the leg side off a rising delivery from Jammu & Kashmir’s Umar Nazir. It was reminiscent of two recent Test dismissals for Rohit: against Pat Cummins at the MCG, and against Matt Henry at the Wankhede Stadium.

    Rohit’s dismissal quickly followed Yashasvi Jaiswal’s after Mumbai opted to bat first. Ajinkya Rahane, the captain, and Shreyas Iyer also managed just 12 and 11 respectively in a first innings that lasted just 33.2 overs with Mumbai bowled out for 120. But excellent work with the ball means Mumbai have a chance of limiting their deficit to under three figures.

    Rohit’s return to the domestic set-up comes on the back of the BCCI’s new guidelines, which have come into force since India’s 3-1 reversal in Australia earlier this month. Rohit’s Test future hangs in the balance after he opted out of the Sydney Test, but he has reiterated that he hasn’t retired and is still hopeful of leading the team in Tests.

    Gill and Punjab collapse against swing and seam

    In Bengaluru, Shubman Gill‘s outing was equally forgettable, not just with the bat but on the field as captain too. Punjab, who were missing Abhishek Sharma, were bowled out for 55 with Gill managing just 4 before nicking behind as swing and seam bowlers ruled on a greenish deck at the Chinnaswamy. By stumps, Punjab were so far behind in the game that they’ll probably need a Gill special to even salvage one point from the match.
    Gill’s return to domestic cricket presented an opportunity for him to get some match time and confidence back following underwhelming returns in Australia where he featured in just three of the five Tests, while aggregating 93 runs in five innings. His returns outside Asia since the 2021 World Test Championship final have been in particular focus – he averages 17.64 across 18 innings.

    Pant misses out; Jadeja takes five on Rajkot turner

    In Rajkot, Rishabh Pant lasted just 10 deliveries as he was out to Dharmendrasinh Jadeja. Pant’s dismissal was part of Delhi’s top-order collapse against spin. Ravindra Jadeja, a formidable threat on turners, thrived in conditions tailor-made for him as he picked up his 35th first-class five-for as Delhi were bowled out for 188.

    In reply, Saurashtra were adrift by 25 at stumps but had lost five wickets, including those of Cheteshwar Pujara and Jadeja, who has top-scored so far with 38. Pujara, who isn’t part of India’s Test plans, made just 6. Apart from the 234 he made against Chhattisgarh, Pujara has endured modest returns so far this season, managing scores of 16, 0, 2, 3 and 14 in his other innings.

    Siddarth Desai misses perfect 10

    Gujarat left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai picked up nine wickets in the very first session of play against Uttarakhand in Ahmedabad, and was in with a chance of becoming the second bowler – after Haryana’s Anshul Kamboj – to record a perfect 10 this season. That chance ended when Vishal Jayswal picked up the final wicket.

    Desai ended with 9 for 36, the best figures in first-class cricket by a Gujarat player, bettering the record held by Jasu Patel who picked up 8 for 21 against Saurashtra in 1960-61. Desai who scalped a match haul of nine wickets on debut, against Kerala back in 2017-18, has emerged as Gujarat’s front-line spinner since Piyush Chawla left to return to his home state Uttar Pradesh.

    Khaleel takes maiden five-for

    Eight years after he made his first-class debut, Khaleel Ahmed has picked up his maiden first-class five-for. This included key Vidarbha wickets including those of Karun Nair who was in prolific form at the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His figures read an impressive 15-5-37-5.

    Khaleel’s performance coincides with his being on the fringes of the national team, especially with the selectors keen on looking for left-arm seamers, a style of bowler India’s Test attack has missed since Zaheer Khan’s exit. This is only Khaleel’s 17th first-class fixture – three of them have come in the current Ranji season (including this game), and two in August in the Duleep Trophy, in which he took nine wickets at 21.66.



    The Ranji Trophy is in full swing and there have been some surprising results in the latest round of matches. Some big names in Indian cricket, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, have missed out on making big contributions for their respective teams.

    Rohit Sharma, who was playing for Mumbai, failed to make a significant impact with the bat in his team’s match against Karnataka. Shubman Gill, representing Punjab, also couldn’t get going and was dismissed for a low score against Delhi. Rishabh Pant, playing for Delhi, also failed to make a big score in the same match.

    However, the standout performance of the round came from Siddharth Desai, who narrowly missed out on a perfect ten-wicket haul for Goa against Mizoram. Desai ended up with figures of 9 for 34 in the second innings, guiding his team to a comfortable victory.

    Overall, it has been an exciting round of matches in the Ranji Trophy, with some unexpected results and standout performances. Fans will be eagerly looking forward to more action in the upcoming matches.

    Siddharth discusses how Payal Kapadia's 'All We Imagine As Light' is struggling to find audience despite accolades: 'She is nominated for...'

    Payal Kapadia‘s film All We Imagine As Light has garnered global attention, winning the Grand Prix at Cannes and earning two Golden Globe nominations. However, actor Siddharth expressed concerns about the film’s struggle to find its audience, noting that despite its accolades, many were unaware of its theatrical release and its reception in India might be limited.
    In an interview with Galatta Plus, Siddharth, who produced the 2023 film Chithha, discussed how a film’s success can be measured in various ways.He reflected on how All We Imagine As Light struggled to find an audience, despite critical praise. Siddharth recalled an online conversation where Payal shared how no one showed up for the film’s release, leading to cancelled shows. In response, viewers expressed interest, but Payal suggested they organize a campaign to bring the film back for a single screening.

    Siddharth further mentioned that while Payal achieved significant recognition, including winning at Cannes and receiving Golden Globe nominations for Best Director and Best Foreign Picture, the film will never reach the audience that typically praises such works. Despite the film’s success in prestigious circles, it may not find its broader audience.

    Siddharth emphasised that while films may receive critical acclaim and win international awards, it doesn’t always lead to widespread viewership. He noted that such films are considered successes by their creators, and the true essence of success is explored in discussions where various perspectives on achievement are shared.
    All We Imagine As Light, written and directed by Payal Kapadia, stars Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam, and Hridhu Haroon. The film delves into the intertwined lives of two Malayali nurses in Mumbai. It was released in Indian theatres on November 22 and will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on January 3, 2025.





    Siddharth discusses how Payal Kapadia’s ‘All We Imagine As Light’ is struggling to find audience despite accolades: ‘She is nominated for the prestigious Cannes Palme d’Or, has received rave reviews from critics, and yet, Kapadia’s film is struggling to find an audience. In a recent interview, Siddharth expressed his disappointment at the lack of interest in Kapadia’s work, stating that it is a shame that such a talented filmmaker is not getting the recognition she deserves. He urged film lovers to seek out ‘All We Imagine As Light’ and support Kapadia’s unique vision. Will you be one of the few to discover this hidden gem?’
