Maharashtra has announced their squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, and it’s Ruturaj Gaikwad who has been named the captain. Known for his calm and steady captaincy, Gaikwad will be looking to guide his team to glory in this season’s T20 tournament.

After missing out on the knockouts last year, Maharashtra will be ready to bounce back stronger as they have a squad laden with experienced players and young talent backing Gaikwad.

Gaikwad has got plenty of support alongside him with players like Ankeet Bawane, Rahul Tripathi, and Mukesh Choudhary by his side. Nikhil Naik and Dhanraj Shinde are the two wicketkeeping options, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Prashant Solanki will be crucial in the bowling department.


Maharashtra’s landed in Group E, and it’s not going to be a walk in the park. They’re up against some tough teams like Kerala, Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Services, and Nagaland. It’s a challenging group for sure, but with Ruturaj Gaikwad in top form and his sharp captaincy skills, Maharashtra fans have plenty to be excited about. Having missed out last year, they’ll be itching to turn things around and make a real impact.

Maharashtra kicks off their campaign on Saturday, November 23 against Nagaland. The pressure is on, but this squad has the talent to make a mark. Gaikwad has proven he can handle the heat, and he’ll be looking to inspire his teammates to bring their best game. If they hit the ground running, they’ve got every chance to make it to the knockouts.
