Ranji Trophy 2024: Matches to look out for in the penultimate leg of the domestic tournament

Things are amping up in the Ranji Trophy 2024, with just two matches left for each team and multiple teams vying for the quarterfinal spots.

The Ranji Trophy 2024 season is reaching its end. With several teams still in contention to make the quarterfinals, things are amping up. With heavyweights like Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, and Manoj Tiwari in action, one can expect riveting clashes. Before the start of the penultimate leg of the tournament, here are the top matches to look out for:

Ranji Trophy 2024: Matches to look out for

Chhattisgarh vs Mumbai

Although Mumbai has virtually qualified for the Ranji Trophy 2024 quarterfinals, they have several big names who’ll be in focus. Swashbuckling opener Prithvi Shaw, who is returning from an injury, will be in focus. All eyes will also be set on Ajinkya Rahane, who’s been struggling to score runs and could be dropped for the match.

Rajasthan vs Saurashtra

Two teams are still very much in competition to make the Ranji Trophy 2024 quarterfinals. Saurashtra skipper Jaydev Unadkat and veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara will be in focus with the team for the remaining three India vs England Tests yet to be selected. Pujara struggled in his last match, while Unadkat is going through a rough patch.

Kerala vs Bengal

The two struggling sides in Elite Group B have a few big names in their teams but have struggled to find success so far. Kerala skipper Sanju Samson will be in the limelight after a silent run so far. Meanwhile, Akash Deep and Mohammed Shami’s brother, Mohammed Kaif, will be the bowlers to look out for.

Andhra vs Uttar Pradesh

This match will feature star-studded cricketers. Wicketkeepers KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel will go against each other in a proxy match for the India team spot. Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, and Hanuma Vihari will also look to impress with the bat. Costly CSK pick Sameer Rizvi will also be in action.

Punjab vs Gujarat

Amidst his poor run, Axar Patel may feature in the Ranji Trophy 2024 match. Other Indian cricket stars like Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh will be in action, while up-and-coming stars Nehal Wadhera, Prabhsimran Singh, and Abhishek Sharma will also feature.

Tamil Nadu vs Karnataka

Mayank Agarwal will make his comeback to the domestic circuit after a medical mishap last month. One of the Ranji Trophy 2024 top scorers, Narayan Jagadeesan, will be in action, while Devdutt Padikkal will return for India A and Washington Sundar from the India Test squad to play.
